  How about a Bisquick recipe enjoyed by my family over twenty years ago. 
  It was something like Impossible Custard Pie. I've looked for it on the 
  Bisquick website but I just don't see it among the newer versions now 
  called "Impossibly" etc. Thanks so much.

  I am looking for a sausage roll recipe. Like the ones you get in a 
  donut shop.  With polish sausage and cheese.

  I hope you can help.  Thanks!

  Mellisa 

Hello Mellisa,

Our local donut shop calls these "kolaches", and that's how I was able to find the recipes. "Sausage roll" brings up a lot of Italian recipes that are not the same thing at all. "Kolaches" are of Czech origin, and are basically a yeast roll stuffed with various fillings, including fruit, ham, sausage, and/or cheese. There are a couple of recipes below.

Phaed

  Breakfast Kolaches

  1 cup warm milk 
  1 egg, lightly beaten 
  1 egg yolk, beaten 
  3 cups bread flour 
  1/2 tablespoon salt 
  3 tablespoons butter 
  1/4 cup white sugar 
  3 teaspoons bread machine yeast 
   Filling: 
  18 2 inch sausages, cut in 1/2 
  1 (16 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes 
  8 slices Cheddar cheese, quartered 
   

   Directions     
  1 In the order suggested by the manufacturer, place milk, egg, egg 
   yolk, bread flour, salt, butter, sugar and bread machine yeast in 
   bread machine. Select Dough cycle, and press Start. 
  2 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 
   large baking sheet. 
  3 On a lightly floured surface, punch down dough, and divide into 
   36 pieces. Roll pieces into balls. Arrange balls in a single layer 
   on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Allow balls to 
   rise 15 to 20 minutes. 
  4 Flatten balls, and make a depression in the center of each. Fill 
   each with 1 piece of sausage, about 1 tablespoon hash browns, and 
   1 quarter slice of cheese. 
  5 Bake 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly 
   browned. 
   
   Makes 36 kolaches 
   ------------------
   Kolaches     
   
  Great for a quick breakfast

  3/4 cup water -- (90 to 95 degrees)
  1/8 cup dry yeast -- (3 packets)
  1 teaspoon sugar

  1 cup hot tap water
  1/4 cup shortening
  1/4 cup heavy cream -- warmed
  1 egg -- slightly beaten
  1/4 cup sugar
  1/4 teaspoon salt
  4 tablespoons butter -- melted
  6 cups flour
  Egg Wash
  1 egg
  1/3 cup water

  Prepare kolache filling and set aside. Stir 1/8 cup yeast and 
  1 teaspoon of sugar into 3/4 cup hot tap water. Set aside to 
  activate. Add 1 cup hot water, shortening, egg, 1/4 cup sugar, 
  salt, melted butter, and cream. Add 2 cups of flour and mix on 
  low until blended. Add yeast mixture. Continuing adding flour 
  until dough does not stick to finger when touched. Turnout dough 
  onto a floured surface. Kneed dough a few minutes and form a ball. 
  Place dough into a bowl brushed with melted butter. Brush top of 
  dough with melted butter. Cover with a towel and let rise until 
  dough doubles in size. Turnout dough on a lightly floured surface. 
  Cut dough into 2 pieces. Roll out dough to a thickness of about 1/8 
  inch. Cut dough into 4" X 6" pieces. Cover dough piece with your 
  favorite topping and roll. Pinch ends and seam to seal. Place 
  finished kolaches on a baking sheet that has been buttered or lined 
  with baking paper. Slightly beat 1 egg and add 1/3 cup water. Mix 
  until well blended. With a pastry brush, coat the kolaches with the 
  egg wash. Allow to rise until dough has about doubled. Bake in a 
  350 degree oven until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow 
  to cool. Excess can be stored in the freezer until needed. If 
  removing from freezer, allow to come up to room temperature. Heat 
  in a 350 degree oven before serving.

  FILLING SUGGESTIONS

  Sausage: In a skillet add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons 
  of butter. When oil and butter are hot add 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 
  1/4 cup of chopped onions, 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup 
  chopped green bell pepper. Add 1 pound of sausage. Start browning the 
  sausage and add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon basil, and salt and 
  pepper to taste. Cook until sausage is well browned. Drain sausage and 
  place on paper towels to remove the grease. Spread the mixture on the 
  prepared kolache strip. Top with cheese if desired. Roll kolaches and 
  pinch ends and seam to seam. Follow baking instructions.

 fold into batter.  Pour batter into 3 greased and floured 8 inch
 round cake pans.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25-27 minutes or until a
 wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool in pans 10
 minutes.  Remove from pans; cool 10 minutes on wire racks.  While
 warm, prick cake layers at 1 inch intervals with a fork.  Place 1
 cake layer on cake plate; spread with 1/3 cup Peppermint Filling and
 sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy.  Repeat with remaining
 layers.  Frost top and sides with Fluffy Frosting; sprinkle top and

 stir constantly.  Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.  Yield 1 cup.

 medium heat; stir constantly until clear.  Cook, without stirring,
 to soft ball stage (240 degrees).  Beat egg whites until soft peaks

 beating until stiff peaks form and frosting is thick enough to
 spread.  Yield: 5 cups.  Note:  I crush peppermint candies between
 towels with a hammer.

  I saw your web site and hope you might be able to find a recipe for me. 
  I don't know what the name of it was though. My 5th grade teacher made 
  this great treat for us at Christmas time. It had crushed pieces of the 
  big fat candy canes and graham crackers and I think maybe marshmallows 
  but I'm not sure about that part. I believe she baked the concoction but 
  being only 9 at the time I really can't remember. If you could find a 
  recipe like that anywhere I would greatly appreciate it.
  Thanks
