Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 unit Egg
- 24 units Mini sausages or cocktail sausages
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the milk to the mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a small amount of flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into rectangles approximately 3 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Place one mini sausage at the edge of each rectangle and roll the dough around the sausage, pinching the ends to seal.
Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush it lightly over the tops of the dough for a golden finish.
Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the brushed dough for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch.
