Sausage Biscuits (Bite Sized)
Yield: 4 rolls (12-15 bite sized sausage biscuits per roll)
First you will need 4 cups of Self-Rising Flour (sifted)
Next, add 4 tsp. of sugar to the flour & mix. Then add 1 cup of Crisco to the flour & sugar mix. I also add a few pats of butter and/or margarin.
Then cut the Crisco (& butter) in with the flour mixture with a pastry blender/cutter or a fork.
Next add 1 1/3 cups of buttermilk
Mix all together to form a biscuit dough. Kneed and then divide dough until 4 equal parts. Roll out each part of dough with a rolling pin.
Then you will need ground sausage - We use Jimmy Dean Mild Pork Sausage. The tube of sausage should be enough for all sections/parts of dough.
"Sprinkle" sausage over the rolled out dough section(s). Then sprinkle with paprika & roll the dough (with sausage on it) up into a roll & roll like you are making a snake with play-dough. Pinch the ends together.
You should have 4 rolls of sausage biscuits.
Wrap in foil and/or freezer paper & store in freezer.
When you are ready to use, thaw roll a little and slice like you would a cucumber or roll of cookies. Slices better when slightly frozen.
Bake at 400 degress for about 20 minutes.
They are great sserved with grape jelly or orange marmalade.
Hope you enjoy!
