Sausage pinwheels

It's been a few weeks since I've posted a new recipe, and ya'll, this is a divine one! 

My Great-aunt Norma Jean has always made the same thing for bridal showers and baby showers at church.  Hence the reason I rarely miss a shower! (I kid, I kid.... But really!)  She had actually written this recipe down for me at my bridal shower, (you know, way back in 2010!) but naturally, I lost it! I digress... I asked her for it this Sunday at church and got around to making them tonight. I can not even explain how awesome these are, but I'll try. I think the word would be savory and sweet. They are perfect for a shower or brunch and I fully intend on cooking them for breakfast this weekend. The very best thing is that it makes a large batch so you can divide it up in as many rolls as you want, freeze them, and then just cut them up and pop them in the oven! 

 

Sausage pinwheels

2 cups Bisquick

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup water plus about 2 tablespoons

1 lb. breakfast sausage (I used deer)

Mix together the Bisquick, sugar and water.  Flour a pastry mat and roll out the dough into a rectangle. It should be about 1/8 inch thick. Then tear up uncooked sausage and spread across dough.  Roll up the sausage and dough. Wrap up in parchment paper, place on a cookie sheet, and freeze. I also cut mine into 2 rolls before I froze it. When ready to cook them, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut pinwheels about 1/4 inch thick. Place frozen slices on cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes! Eat and enjoy way more than you should! 

Yields: (*dislclaimer: I haven't sliced both rolls up yet, but I think it'll make around 30!)
