Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Measure 2 cups of flour into a bowl, add the salt and grated cheese and mix lightly with a fork. Pour the milk into a measuring cup to come up to 1-cup mark and then crack in the egg and add the oil. Beat to combine, then pour into the dry ingredients, forking to mix as you go. You may, at the end, feel the dough's either too dry or too damp: add either more milk or more flour and fork together again until you've got a soft dough that's not too sticky to be rolled out.
- Break the dough into 2 pieces and roll 1 piece on a lightly floured surface. Scone dough is a dream to work with; in fact, I find it deeply pleasurable. Just roll as clumsily and heavy handedly as you like: no harm will come to it. You want a thin, but not exaggeratedly so, rectangle. A square wouldn't be the end of the world either, so don't start getting out the geometry set: this is the roughest of instructions.
- Cut the dough into approximately 1 3/4-inch strips, and then cut each strip at approximately 2 1/2-inch intervals so that you end up with a collection of small, raggedy oblongs (I just cut each strip as I go, but it's probably more efficient to do the whole batch of dough at 1 time).
- Take a cocktail sausage and put it at 1 end of an oblong at a slight diagonal and then roll up, pressing on the infinitely compliant dough to squeeze it shut, and then place on a nonstick baking sheet, or 1 lined with parchment. Carry on until you've finished all your strips and then get to work with the remaining dough. Three baking sheets should do it.
- Now, dip a pastry brush into the beaten egg mixture and paint on the pastry for a golden glaze. Put in the oven and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, by which time they should be puffy and burnished. Remove from the oven and let cool a little before giving them to the children.

Steps:
- 1. Mix pork sausage, rice, water and pepper in a large bowl. You can add a little more water if mixture is too thick. cover and refidgerate until cabbage is ready.
- 2. Bring a large pan of water to a boil and place head of cabbage in boiling water until leaves loosen and become limp. Seperate leaves and stack on a plate.
- 3. Using a 1/4 or 1/3 measuring cup, scoop pork mixture out to form an oblong roll. place one piece on a cabbage leaf and roll up. repeating with remaining pork mixture. This amount usually yeilds about 24 pork rolls.
- 4. Drain sauerkraut in a collander and layer about 2 lbs in the bottom of an electric roaster or large crock pot. sprinkle with about 2 Tbsp brown sugar and a thin layer of onions. then layer with cabage rolls.
- 5. Cover cabage rolls with another layer of sauerkraut, then brown sugar the onino and cabage rolls, repeat until you end up with a top covering of sauerkraut. any extra cabbage leaves can be laid on top of the kraut to cook as well.
- 6. Set roaster to 325° and slow cook for at least 10 hours. keep checking every few hours to make sure your kraut is not burning on the bottom. In crock pot set temp to high for the first 6 housr the on low the remaining 4 hours.
- 7. Serve with mashed potatoes at the strike of the new year for good luck! I usually start my pigs about 1:00pm then have them as the new year comes in!
