Sausage-Pecan Cocktail Biscuits
Sausage-Pecan Cocktail Biscuits
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, softened
1 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
36 pecan halves for topping
1. In a large, heavy skillet, break up the sausage and fry over moderate heat till cooked through. Drain on paper towels and, when cool enough to handle, crumble well.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the margarine and cheese together with an electric mixer. Add the flour and salt and stir till well blended. Add the sausage, stir till well blended and smooth, cover with plastic wrap, and chill the dough about 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375?F.
4. Pinch off small pieces of dough, roll them between your palms into 1-inch balls, flatten each ball slightly with your fingers, and arrange on two baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Press a pecan half into the center of each and bake in center of the oven till golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
Makes about 3 dozen biscuits
