A simple homemade sausage roll recipe using puff pastry and seasoned sausage meat. Baked until golden and crisp, they make an easy snack or party food that can be prepared ahead and served warm or cold.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry
- 400 g sausage meat
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon mustard wholegrain or Dijon
- 1 egg beaten (for glazing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or Gas Mark 6.
- Mix the filling in a bowl, combine the sausage meat, diced onion, sage, mustard, salt, and pepper
- Unroll the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the sheet in half lengthways. Cut each long strip into 3 equal parts, giving you 6 rectangles.
- Spoon the sausage mixture along the centre of each pastry strip. Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal.
- Place seal side down on lined baking tray, score with a knife a few times, glaze with the beaten egg (or yolk and a splash of milk for a richer colour) and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy hot or cold.
