Recipe
Mini Sausage Rolls
Equipment
- Small bowl
Ingredients
- 375 g (1 sheets) Puff Pastry (1 sheet. If frozen make sure it has defrosted before use)
- 400 g (14 oz) Pork Sausage Meat (roughly 6 sausages)
- 1 Egg
Instructions
- Take the puff pastry out of the fridge about 20 minutes to half an hour before you want to start. This helps it soften up and makes it easier to roll out.
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC fan / 400ºF / Gas Mark 7.
- Line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper / baking parchment.
- Add a little all-purpose (plain flour) to your worktop and roll out the Puff Pastry (try to keep it rectangular) or unroll a sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry.
- Cut the pastry sheets into 2 long equal pieces.
- Remove the sausage skins, if using sausages, or divide the sausage meat into two.
- Form the sausage meat into long sausages and place them the length of each piece of puff pastry.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to brush over the pastry.
- Paint a line of egg brush along one edge and roll the sausage meat up (from the non-brushed side) in the pastry and place them seam side down (this will help stop them from unravelling in the oven).
- Use a knife and cut them into bite-size pieces. I tend to cut them into roughly 16 pieces about a thumb width each. Place them on the prepared baking tray. Leave a gap between them so they can expand up in the oven.
- Brush the sausage rolls with the beaten egg and place them in the oven. (You can add a sprinkle of dried herbs or sesame seeds on top if you would like for decoration and more flavour)
- Bake the mini sausage rolls for 20 minutes until golden brown. (You can cut into a sausage roll to check the meat is cooked.)
- Serve hot or cold.
