Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 0.25 pound breakfast sausage
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 0.25 teaspoon season salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon minced rosemary optional
  • 1 pinch sage optional
  • 5 large eggs scrambled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or jack cheese optional for topping
  • 1 tablespoon Everyday Seasoning from Trader Joe's or other seasoning of choice

Poptart English Wig Dough

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 5 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 extra egg plus 2 tablespoons water for egg wash

Instructions
 

Country Sausage Gravy & Filling

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage in skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook the sausage until it's browned and small crispy bits appear. (About 5-7 minutes.)
  • Without draining fat off of sausage, stir the flour into the skillet with sausage until fully absorbed and simmer 2 to 3 minutes which eliminates that 'raw' flour taste.
  • Using a flat bottomed whisk, carefully stir in the milk. Reduce heat to medium low and stir with whisk as the gravy thickens, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in seasoned salt, pepper, and optional rosemary, sage. Set aside.
  • In a separate skillet scramble and cook the 5 eggs as to your liking. Set aside.

Poptart Dough & Assembly

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
  • In a large bowl, stir the flour and salt together.
  • With a large fork, cut in the shortening and butter until crumbly and 'pea-sized' crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk 1 egg, vinegar and water together. Pour all at once into the flour mixture and stir a few times just until it forms a dough ball.
  • Roll out dough on floured surface to ⅛-inch thick (work with half of dough at one time for easier rolling/cutting).
  • Cut two rectangles for each tart, 3 x 4-inches.
  • Working with 3 at a time, place the bottom crust onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Wet the edges (before adding filling) with egg wash. Spoon on scrambled egg, sausage gravy. Gently stretch the top crust just a tad and use a fork to crimp and seal edges.
  • The poptarts will not expand so they can be placed fairly close to each other on baking sheet.
  • Brush tops with egg wash, add seasoning and/or cheese. Bake for 25 minutes @ 375 F.
  • Cool for 5 minutes before eating.
