Servings: 6
Calories: 225kcal
Ingredients
- 1 (12-14 ounce) package of Lit'l Smokies or Cocktail Sausages, patted dry
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, plus a pinch -- separated
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° and have ready a sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Pat the sausages dry using paper towels and with the tines of a fork, poke two sets of holes in all of the cocktail sausages. Set aside until ready to use.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add milk and butter and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
- On a floured work surface, pat out the dough, and knead it gently if needed to bring it together. Dust it with flour and using a rolling pin, roll it out into a rectangle, about an ⅛" of an inch thick.
- Cut lengthwise strips, about 1" wide. Then cut 2 ½-3" sections across the strips. You should have about 20 rectangular strips. Combine any dough scraps and repeat with what's left.
- Place a cocktail sausage at the end of each strip and roll it to close. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all are assembled.
- Bake for 15 minutes, serve, and enjoy!
