Meat Roll in Biscuit Dough
From: Marie-Thé, Quebec, Canada
Comments: This roll can also be prepared with meatpie filling, which makes it delicious and economical as well.
Serve along with any good sauce you like suach as a brown meat sauce, a tomato sauce, a mushroom sauce, ....
Salmon or any other fish, mixed with a thick bechamel [white sauce], makes an excellent composition for fast days.
These rolls can also be made very small, with all kinds of fillings, for buffets; they are also popular at cocktail parties.
