Ingredients
  

For the Buttermilk Biscuits:

  • 1-½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ cup salted butter, cold, cut in small cubes
  • ¾ cup buttermilk or add a splash of lemon juice to regular milk

For the Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp. water

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
  • In a food processor, blend together the flour and baking powder; pulse in the cold butter; do not over incorporate the butter into the flour; similar to making a flaky pastry, small pieces of butter should be visible in the flour.
  • Transfer this mixture from the food processor into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
  • Pour in the buttermilk; working very quickly with a wooden spoon, fold the dry mixture through the buttermilk, only until the flour disappears, then stop immediately.
  • Drop the sticky dough onto a well floured counter top or bread board.
  • Sprinkle the top of the dough with additional flour; cover your hands with flour to handle the dough.
  • Roll the dough out into a long rectangle, about the width of your sausages, and only about 1/2-inch thick or slightly less; cut into 4 equal pieces.
  • Remove the sausages from their casings.
  • Using a small bowl or cup, make an egg wash by whisking together the egg and water.
  • Place one portion of the sausage at one end of one of the biscuit pastry squares.
  • Brush the pastry with the egg wash on the opposite edge of the dough from the sausage.
  • Roll the sausage in the pastry, pinching the edges of the dough together where they overlap.
  • Place the sausage rolls, seam side down, on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (consider using aluminum baking sheets because they tolerate the higher oven temperature without burning the bottom of the sausage rolls).
  • Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with egg wash.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the tops of the sausage rolls are evenly golden brown.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the sausage reaches about 175°F to 180°F.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the sausage rolls to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
