# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Put a pan on medium heat and cook the sausage till it’s nicely browned. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk then toss in seasoning salt, black pepper, rosemary, and sage. Let it bubble until thick. Take it off heat and set aside.
02 -
In another pan, gently scramble the eggs until they’re just set. Then take them off the heat and keep warm.
03 -
In a big bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the shortening and butter until you get a crumbly mix. Beat the egg with vinegar and cold water. Pour that into the dry stuff and stir until it makes a dough. Chill it in the fridge for 15 minutes.
04 -
Roll the dough out on a floured surface till it’s about 3 mm thick. Cut into rectangles however big you want. Spoon sausage gravy and scrambled eggs onto half of them. Add cheese if you like. Top with the other rectangles and press edges tight.
05 -
Mix the extra egg with water and paint that on top of each pop-tart. Pop them onto a baking sheet and bake in an oven set to 190°C for 25 minutes or till they turn a nice golden color.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For extra flavor, toss cheese on top before baking. Or swap the sausage and eggs for jam or fruit preserves for a sweeter twist. Feel free to tweak the seasoning to your liking.
