Preparation

For the Filling
1. Step 1
  In a small bowl, combine cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, chili powder, black pepper, white pepper and bay leaves; set aside. In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil and add sausage. Sauté 1 minute, add spice mixture and cook until lightly browned, about 2 more minutes.
2. Step 2
  Add onion, celery, bell pepper and jalapeño. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce and cook until liquid is almost evaporated, about 20 minutes. Stir in flour, add 2 tablespoons water, and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add scallions. Season with hot sauce and (if desired) additional salt to taste.
3. Step 3
  To assemble: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out a single biscuit into a 3-inch disk. Holding disk in palm of your hand, place a heaping tablespoon of filling in center; lift edges to close dough around filling. Seal dough by twisting it, and place it with seam (twisted) side down on an ungreased nonstick baking sheet. Repeat to use all filling and all or most of the dough. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 20 minutes depending on type of dough used.

Good recipe, although it makes more of the filling that will fit in the specified amount of dough pieces. I ended up doing 36 pieces and still had about a cup and a half leftover. It is good just on top of rice if you don't have extra dough ready to go.
