Sausage Spins
Sausage Spins are savory, flaky pastry pinwheels filled with sausage, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or appetizers, offering a delicious combination of buttery dough and spicy sausage flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick
- 1 pound sausage (hot or mild) ⓘ
Instructions
- Make biscuit dough according to directions on Bisquick box. Roll dough out into a rectangle 1/3-inch thick.
- Crumble uncooked sausage over the dough.
- Roll up the dough as for a jelly roll and seal the edges. (At this point, sausage rolls can be wrapped and frozen.)
- Slice into pinwheels and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 450°F until sizzling and brown, about 15 minutes.
- Serve hot. For easier slicing, refrigerate before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding shredded cheese or finely chopped herbs to the dough before rolling. If you want a spicier kick, use hot sausage or add some crushed red pepper flakes. Ensure the dough isn't too thick when rolled out; 1/3-inch is ideal for even cooking. If you're short on time, pre-made biscuit dough can be substituted for Bisquick.
Serving Suggestions
Sausage Spins make a fantastic appetizer or snack for gatherings. Pair them with a tangy dipping sauce like mustard or a spicy ketchup for added flavor. They also go well with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables as a light meal. For a brunch option, serve alongside Eggs-In-Sausage for a hearty spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Sausage Spins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. For freezing, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag; they can last up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of sausage?
Absolutely! You can substitute the sausage with turkey sausage for a lighter option, or even try a vegetarian sausage for a meat-free version. Just be sure to adjust cooking times if the sausage has different fat content or moisture levels.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuit dough in advance and keep it refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to wrap it tightly to prevent it from drying out. When ready to use, roll it out and proceed with the recipe as directed.
How do I know when they are done baking?
The Sausage Spins are done when they are golden brown and sizzling. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time; you want a crispy exterior without burning. If you're unsure, use a toothpick to check the sausage inside; it should be cooked through.
