Sausage Biscuit Pinwheels image

Sausage and Biscuits Rolled into one! Great for Game Day snacking, Holiday Breakfasts, or Potlucks. My dad used to make these with canned biscuit dough. As kids, my sisters and I relished them. We called them 'Sausage Cookies'. I have since modified the recipe using a variation of biscuit dough from an old 'Joy of Cooking' cookbook. * a stand mixer makes super quick work of the mixing

Time 27m

Yield 16 rolls, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons softened margarine or 4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup milk
1 lb ground sausage
milk or melted butter

Steps:

  • Measure and mix dry ingredients.
  • Using pastry cutter, a fork, or mixer, cut margarine (or butter) into dry mixture. Make a well in the center. Pour in 3/4 cups milk. Stir until dough is free from the sides of the bowl.
  • Turn out onto floured counter top or board. Roll dough into a rough rectangle 1/4 inch thick.
  • Open ground sausage and spread evenly on top of the dough.
  • Roll up jelly-roll style.
  • Cut roll into 1/2 inch slices (dough can be refrigerated overnight to ease the slicing if desired).
  • Arrange the slices on oiled cookie sheets.
  • Brush tops with milk or melted butter to aid browning.
  • Bake in 450 degree oven for 12 - 15 minutes.
  • Sometimes I mix 1/2 cheese or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder with the dough in this recipe. The uncooked, unsliced roll can be wrapped and frozen for later use. Simply thaw, slice, bake and serve.
