Description

Classic British Sausage Rolls featuring seasoned sausage meat wrapped in flaky puff pastry, baked to golden perfection. Perfect as a savory snack or party appetizer with a crisp exterior and juicy filling.


Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

Filling

  • 1 lb ground sausage meat
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg (beaten for egg wash)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) ensuring it reaches the temperature for optimal baking results.
  2. Prepare Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to approximately 1/8 inch thickness, creating a smooth even layer.
  3. Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage meat with finely chopped onion, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended to ensure consistent flavor.
  4. Cut Pastry: Slice the rolled-out pastry into rectangles about 4 by 6 inches in size, which will become individual sausage rolls.
  5. Fill and Seal: On one edge of each pastry rectangle, place a spoonful of the sausage mixture. Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges together, sealing firmly with a fork to prevent leakage during baking.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each sealed sausage roll with the beaten egg. This will give them a shiny, golden-brown finish when baked.
  7. Bake: Arrange the sausage rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly after baking. Serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Ensure sausage meat is fresh for best flavor and safety.
  • You can add herbs like thyme or sage to the filling for an extra flavor dimension.
  • Chilling the pastry before cutting can make it easier to handle.
  • Serve with mustard or ketchup for dipping.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
