How to Make Sausage Pinwheels

Incorporate sausage (or any breakfast meat) into a biscuit pinwheel recipe.

Combine biscuits and sausage for breakfast into a recipe for pinwheels. Prep the dough a day ahead, then bake pinwheels as needed. Eat a few hot out of the oven. Cook some eggs to make egg sandwiches out of two pinwheel slices. Or dip the sausage pinwheels in syrup.

Things You'll Need

• 1 lb. breakfast sausage crumbled and cooked
• Optional: Cheese, Chives, Garlic Salt, Onions
• 2 cups biscuit mix
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• Mixing bowls
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Mixing spoons
• Baking sheets

Instructions

1. Mix into the sausage any extra ingredients that you prefer, such as chopped onions, garlic, cheese, chives. Set aside in the refrigerator.

2. In large mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix, milk and butter. Mix thoroughly. Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

3. Divide the dough into two equal portions.

4. Roll out one portion of the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 to 1/6 thickness.

5. Spread half the sausage onto the rolled out biscuit dough.

6. Roll the dough up starting at one long side to the other.

7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 with other half of dough. Wrap both rolls tightly in aluminum foil, and put in freezer until firm but not frozen. This will make the dough easier to cut into the pinwheels.

8. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

9. Pull out the rolls from the freezer. Slice them from top to bottom in 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet.

10. Bake for about 13 to 15 minutes or until the dough is a golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
