My husband loves this for breakfast in the morning, heated up in the microwave from the freezer. They are wonderful right out of the oven too! Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons baking powder |
4 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper |
6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into pieces |
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 1/2 cups ground sausage, cooked |
1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk |
4 large egg whites |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into the bowl, mixing it up until it looks a little like meal.
3. Stir in the cheese and sausage.
4. Combine buttermilk and egg white together with a whisk.
5. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients until just moist.
6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4-5 times with floured hands. Note: The dough will be sticky.
7. Pat dough into two 8-inch circles on prepared baking sheet (spray with cooking spray).
8. Cut dough into 8 wedges, cutting into but not all the way through the dough like a pie.
9. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
10. Cool.
11. Cut wedges all the way through and wrap individually.
12. Put in a ziplock bag and freeze.
13. To Reheat: take wedge out of wrapping and place in the microwave 30-50 seconds until warm.
