Johnathan Kivett’s Absurdly Easy Pinwheel Appetizers

A note from the Chef:
“This one will be easy for people who want to impress friends & family! Even if they don’t usually have the most impressive cooking skills. Enjoy!” – Johnathan
Ingredients
- One half pound sausage. (I recommend extra sage or spicy)
- One can of crescent-shaped rolls
Instructions
- Unroll the crescent rolls. Ignore the perforations, as you will not be baking whole rolls. If you can find one of the roll varieties without perforations, lucky you! If not, ignore them or mash them together to form one long sheet.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Very lightly spray a cookie sheet.
- Spread half a pound of sausage onto the sheet of crescent roll. Make it thin.
- Roll up the sheet, and chill for half an hour in wax paper in the fridge. Using a wet knife, cut into cookie-sized disks.
- Place on cookie sheet with room for expansion, an inch and a half or so between each pinwheel.
- Cook for about ten minutes, or until the dough is golden brown. Do not let it burn on the bottom! Check it with paranoia.
- Let cool slightly, then remove from pan and serve warm.
Preparation Hint: It’s easier to work with the dough when it is cold.
