For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality ground pork with a good fat content (around 20-25%). The fat adds moisture and flavor to the sausages. If you prefer a milder sausage, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking. These sausages can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or frozen for longer storage. To freeze, place the uncooked patties in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer the frozen patties to a freezer bag or container. Serve these maple breakfast sausages with scrambled eggs, pancakes, waffles, or alongside a hearty breakfast casserole.
