Prepare Pork Sausage according to the recipe.
Form the Pork Sausage into 20 hot dog shapes, about 1/2 cup each, 4 to 5 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the sausages until evenly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Set the cooked sausages on a paper towel-lined plate to cool completely.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the bottom blade, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, Italian seasoning, mustard powder, baking soda, cayenne and sea salt.
Pulse 3 to 4 times for 4 to 5 seconds each time to combine the dry ingredients.
Add the butter cubes.
Pulse 5 to 6 times for 4 to 5 seconds each time until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
Add the mozzarella cheese and pulse again, 3 to 4 times for 4 to 5 seconds each time until well combined.
Add the buttermilk and process until a dough ball forms.
Flour a work surface.
Turn the dough ball out onto the floured surface.
Sprinkle lightly with flour and gently pat out and roll into a 10 by 15-inch rectangle.
With a bench knife or pizza wheel, trim the edges to make them even.
Cut this in half lengthwise and again in half the short way.
Cut the dough in 5 even cuts the short way to create a rectangle that is 2 squares deep on the short end and 5 squares along the long end.
Cut these 5 by 3-inch squares into triangles; you should have 20 triangles.
Add the cooled sausages to each fat end of the triangle.
Roll up, tucking the thin end under and place on the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart.
Repeat with the remaining triangles and sausages.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Place in the oven.
Bake until golden brown, about 16 minutes.
