Buttermilk Biscuit Sausage Pinwheels Recipes

PERFECT SAUSAGE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• Create dough with Bisquick mix and milk.
• On wax paper, roll out dough. Make it as close to a large thin square as possible (don't need to be perfect).
• Spread out sausage (uncooked) on dough. (it spreads easier if you put sausage in microwave for a 20 to 30 seconds).
• Start on one side and roll toward the other, creating a large log shape.
• (wrap up in wax paper and put a towel over it and place in the freezer for around 15 minutes if you want to slice easer. This is not necessary though).
• Slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Combine the buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and gently mix until just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly using the heel of your hand to compress and push the dough away from you, and then fold it back over itself. Give the dough a small turn and repeat eight or so times. (It's not yeast bread; you want to just barely activate the gluten, not overwork it.) Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/2 inch thick. Cut out rounds of dough with a 1 1/2-inch round cutter dipped in flour; press the cutter straight down without twisting so the biscuits will rise evenly when baked.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using a wooden spoon, break up the meat into small pieces. Cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour off any excess rendered fat. Add the onions and cook until clear and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir to combine and coat. Add the milk and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool just slightly. Split and serve hot with the sausage gravy.

MAKE-AHEAD SAUSAGE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook and crumble sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes; drain. Add pepper and green onion; cook and stir 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; cool 10 minutes. Stir in cream cheese until blended; cool completely., Unroll 1 can of crescent dough and separate into 4 rectangles; pinch perforations to seal. Press each rectangle to 6x4-1/2 in.; spread each with 1/3 cup filling to within 1/4 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Roll gently to make logs smooth. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with remaining crescent dough. Freeze, covered, until firm, about 1 hour., Cut each log into 10 slices. Bake on parchment-lined baking sheets until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Serve warm. Freeze option: Freeze pinwheels in freezer containers, separating layers with waxed paper. To use, bake frozen pinwheels as directed, increasing time by 3-5 minutes.

SAUSAGE BISCUIT PINWHEELS

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.

EASY SAUSAGE BISCUIT BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Spread each biscuit into a 2x4-inch oval using your hands. Brush hot mustard onto each biscuit. Place a sausage link across the short edge of each biscuit oval and roll up lengthwise. Cut each rolled biscuit into 4 round slices. Lay 'bites' onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle each 'bite' with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are browned, 18 to 20 minutes.
