Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier texture, consider adding a bit of cold water or butter to the biscuit mix. You can substitute the sausage with turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option. If you prefer a bit of spice, adding crushed red pepper or herbs to the sausage can enhance the flavor. Make sure to roll tightly to avoid spilling the filling while cooking.

Pair them with a fresh salad, like Myra's Greens, or enjoy them alongside Barbecue Hot Dogs for a fun meal. They are perfect for gatherings or as a quick snack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the sausage rolls before cooking them?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked sausage rolls. Just roll and slice them, then place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to a freezer bag. When you're ready to cook them, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What can I use instead of biscuit mix?
If you don't have biscuit mix, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. For every cup of flour, add about 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a tablespoon of butter or shortening. This homemade mix will work well for the recipe.
How do I know when the sausage rolls are done?
The sausage rolls are done when they are golden brown on the outside and the sausage is cooked through. If you're unsure, you can use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 160°F. Additionally, they should be firm to the touch.
