I made these to go along with our Christmas Eve snacks. What do you make on a Christmas Eve? Does your family do anything special?

Just some kalbiesa cut. And biscuit dough rolled and cut. Next time I’ll use the cookie cutter and cut same size meat as the biscuits.

Baked 375 about 10-12 minutes. I top with some mustards. It was just our family eating them so I topped them. Mustard should be on side.

2CUPS all-purpose flour

4TBSP unsalted crisco or butter, cold, cut into small pieces (I prefer crisco)

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Grease a large baking sheet or I use a silicone sheet. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl.
Put the butter/margarine pieces into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cheese until evenly distributed.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk/milk. Stir well into a nice ball.
Sprinkle the dough with flour and then turn out onto a well floured counter
With floured hands, pat the dough, I take a floured rolling pin roll out. Roll, then fold in half, roll out, fold other way, roll again. I keep repeating this over and over flipping in half and rolling. It makes for a very flakey layered crust.
I rolled out a large square. Cut in half then cut triangles out of each rectangular piece you have.

One at a time, roll up the sausages in the triangles. Pinch the end piece in bottom and cook that side down. I do a yolk wash on them and add some white & black sesame seeds

Drain! I forgot to take after picture. This will have a nice color, flavour, you should get about 6-8 cups. Pour in bowl, put in fridge overnight. All the fat will come to the top. Now some scrape this off and throw that out. Well that’s awesome stuff and can replace oil in recipes. I put in container, store in fridge and or freezer. I also freeze the stock in 1 1/2CUP portions. Til the day I get up the courage to use my pressure canner so I can bottle it!
Do you cook up your turkey carcasses?
We have the PC Choice brand but this one is just the same.

My kids love potatoes chips! I haven’t met too many people, who don’t. Vegetable chips are great, and tastes awesome. I little bit of work but for us, it’s worth it.
I don’t like to use the shield that comes with the mandolin so hubby makes me wear my no cut gloves lol they are great though. It was a nice purchase!

We like things spicy. You can just eat them as they are. Or just add salt. Or a herbed, garlic, onion thing. Or whatever your favorite spices happen to be.
I made up a spice with some paprika, cayenne, & garlic salt.
Do you make homemade potato chips? What do you like to put on them? Do you have favorite dip to make?
