Description
Enjoy your flaky sausage roll pastries!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sausage meat or sausages
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Flour (for dusting)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Sausages: If using sausage meat, divide into equally sized portions. If using whole sausages, make sure they are cooked and cooled.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Lightly dust your counter with flour. Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into strips wide enough to wrap around the sausage.
- Assemble Rolls: Optionally spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each pastry strip for extra flavor. Place a sausage or portion of sausage meat onto each strip of puff pastry. Roll the pastry around the sausage, sealing the edges with a little beaten egg.
- Egg Wash: Mix the beaten egg with the optional milk. Brush this mixture over the top of each roll to ensure a golden finish.
- Bake: Arrange the sausage rolls on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is cold before rolling to prevent it from becoming too soft.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or spices such as thyme or paprika to the sausage meat.
- These can be made in advance and frozen before baking. Simply bake from frozen, allowing a few extra minutes in the oven.
