Preparation
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the whole milk, then reduce the heat to medium-low, allowing the gravy to thicken for about 4-5 minutes. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper to taste, then set aside.
- In a separate non-stick skillet, crack and scramble the large eggs over medium heat, stirring frequently until just set, about 3-4 minutes. Adjust doneness to your preference and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the vegetable shortening and cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in a beaten egg, white vinegar, and cold water as needed to form a soft dough, then wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out half of the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness and cut into rectangles measuring 3x4 inches, aiming for a total of 8 rectangles. Preheat your oven to 375°F while preparing.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place four rectangles on it, brush edges with egg wash, and fill with scrambled eggs and sausage gravy. Lay remaining rectangles on top, sealing edges.
- Brush tops with egg wash, sprinkle with cheese and optional seasonings, and bake at 375°F for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving warm.
