Sausage Rolls
Ingredients
Directions
The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.
Prepare
Prepare a dough for baking powder biscuits.
Roll the dough and cut it into pieces 4 inches wide and 8 inches long.
Assemble and bake
Place a sausage in the center of each piece of dough.
Roll up the dough around the sausage and press the ends together.
Bake in a hot oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.

What each ingredient does
- Dough for baking powder biscuits
- Forms a soft, flaky wrapper that bakes around the sausage.
- Sausage
- Provides the filling and its fat and savory flavor inside the wrapper.
The step that matters
Pressing the ends together. If the seams are not sealed well, the filling can leak out and the dough can open during baking. Tight seams keep the sausage enclosed so the dough cooks evenly around it.
