If you substitute with a different sausage, different plant-based meat, or if a brand changes its recipe: the amount of milk needed may need to be altered.

If substituting, to figure out how much milk you need, start by mixing the flour, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and pepper together.  Then crumble in the sausage and add the cheese to the flour.  Start to mix and if it’s too dry add a couple of tablespoons of milk, mix, and add more if needed.

In case the mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time.  The mixture should be wet and will stick to your hands, but you’ll want to be able to roll it into a ball without excessive crumbling.
