Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces for even cooking, about 5 minutes.
- Once browned, sprinkle in the flour and stir for another minute until well combined. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
- In a separate non-stick pan, crack the eggs and scramble them over medium-low heat until they reach your desired doneness, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the shortening and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vinegar, and cold water. Gradually mix this into the flour mixture, forming the dough, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, roll the dough out to about ⅛-inch thickness and cut into rectangles measuring 3x4 inches.
- On a baking sheet, lay one rectangle of dough down and brush the edges with egg wash. Spoon a scoop of scrambled eggs followed by sausage gravy onto the rectangle, leaving a border.
- Place another rectangle on top, pressing firmly around the edges, and crimp with a fork to seal.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with shredded cheese and additional seasoning if desired.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and flaky. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
