Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Pinwheels Recipe

While there are many brands of all purpose and self rising flour I find myself reaching for White Lily over and over again. I've been privileged to visit the test kitchen and develop several recipes using their products and it is with great joy each and every time they asked me to do so. These biscuit pinwheels are an example of one such recipe and I've served them as expected for breakfast and brunch but, people love these as an appetizer. The beauty of making the biscuit dough from scratch is, you may already have everything you need on hand.

Helpful Tips for Making Biscuit Pinwheels

You can use mild or spicy sausage for the filling, the choice is yours.
For an added layer of flavor, I like to brush the homemade biscuit dough with melted butter and Dijon mustard. It's a simple touch that gives the flavor of the pinwheels a little extra something special.
For a time saver, you can fully assemble one day in advance. When doing so, wrap in plastic wrap and chill then slice into pinwheels just before baking.
It's important to use a sharp knife to slice into pinwheels. If you assemble in advance I recommend that you wait and brush with butter, just before baking.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat cook sausage and green onion together until no pink remains. Drain excess fat, and set aside to cool.

Mix together 2 Tbsp melted butter and 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard. Brush over the surface of the dough from end to end.
Sprinkle dough with 1 cup of shredded cheese, then arrange sausage crumbles over cheese. Top sausage with remaining cheese.
Roll jelly roll style starting with the longest edge shaping as you go, ending seam side down. Use a sharp knife to cut into ¾-inch pinwheels.
Place pinwheels onto a parchment lined baking sheet and brush the tops with remaining 1 Tbsp melted butter.
Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Serve immediately.
