Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups sausage meat
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a mixing bowl, stir together the biscuit mix and onion powder until well combined. |
| 2 | Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until it forms a smooth dough ball. |
| 3 | Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 6-8 times to ensure it’s cohesive. |
| 4 | Roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 15×18 inches in size. |
| 5 | Prepare the sausage meat by crumbing it well. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra flavor. |
| 6 | Spread the crumbled sausage meat evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. |
| 7 | Carefully roll up the dough, starting from one of the long sides, to encase the sausage meat completely. |
| 8 | Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 3/8-inch thick rounds. |
| 9 | Place the slices onto a greased baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart to allow for expansion. |
| 10 | Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and bake the sausage rolls for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. |
| 11 | Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature. |
