Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Salted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage (uncooked, regular or spicy)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Slowly add the milk to the flour and butter mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Do not overwork the dough.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 5
Spread the raw breakfast sausage evenly over the entire surface of the dough, pressing it down gently to adhere.
Step 6
Starting at one of the longer edges, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal the roll.
Step 7
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into approximately 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Step 8
Place the sausage swirls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each swirl.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage is fully cooked.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
