Appetizer Sausage Balls in Blankets
Serving Size : 36

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 pound bulk sausage -- (hot or mild)

Mix flour, curry, paprika, salt, and cheese. With pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Shape pastry mixture into ball with hands. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour. Shape sausage into small balls. Fry until browned. Drain on towels. Divide dough into as many pieces as there are sausage balls. Shape dough around balls. (Dough may be crumbly but will form.) Wrap and freeze.

Preheat oven to 400F and bake on cookie sheet 12 minutes. (Careful with baking time since they burn easily.)
