Tips:
- For a creamier filling, use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream.
- Add a teaspoon of garlic powder or onion powder to the spinach mixture for extra flavor.
- If you don't have self-rising flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to all-purpose flour.
- To make the cheese balls ahead of time, assemble them and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag and store them for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the cheese balls in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
