Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 24 pieces Mini cocktail sausages
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk, mixing until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 3-4 times to form a cohesive ball.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch using a rolling pin.
Cut the dough into 24 small strips, approximately 3 inches by 2 inches.
Wrap each mini cocktail sausage with a strip of dough, pinching the edges to seal.
Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash lightly over each wrapped sausage to encourage browning.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the dough, if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, like ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard.
