Flaky Buttermilk Biscuit Sausage Pinwheels

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F. Using a pastry blender, cut the shortening into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk and mix until just combined.

2. 2

   On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for a few seconds, adding more flour as needed. Roll the dough into a 12x9-inch rectangle.

3. 3

   Spread the raw sausage evenly over the dough, then roll up the dough jelly-roll style, starting from the short side. Chill the rolled dough for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Slice the chilled dough into 1/2-inch thick pieces and place them cut-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
