Ingredients
- 1 (16.3-oz) can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 lb breakfast sausage, uncooked
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF. This ensures the oven is at the perfect temperature for baking the pinwheels so they cook evenly and become golden brown.
- Prepare Biscuits: Separate each biscuit into two layers to create a total of 16 biscuit rounds. This will give you thinner layers of dough that are easier to roll out.
- Roll Dough: Arrange the biscuit halves on a piece of parchment paper in a 4 by 4 grid, with the edges touching. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Lightly flour your surface and rolling pin if the dough is sticky to prevent sticking.
- Add Sausage: Evenly spread the uncooked breakfast sausage over the rolled-out dough layer. Distribute the sausage carefully to cover the entire surface for even flavor in every pinwheel.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from the long edge closest to you, roll the dough and sausage jelly-roll style into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pinwheel pieces.
- Bake Pinwheels: Place the pinwheel slices cut side up on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake the pinwheels in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and golden brown on top.
Notes
- Use a little flour on your hands and rolling pin to prevent biscuit dough from sticking while rolling out.
- Make sure the sausage is evenly spread and rolled tightly to avoid filling spilling out during baking.
- Check the internal temperature of the sausage if unsure; it should reach at least 160ºF for safety.
- Serve warm for best taste and texture.
- Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, then baked just before serving.
