Mark’s English Sausage Rolls
Mark’s English Sausage Rolls are flaky, savory, and deeply satisfying. Made with puff pastry and well-seasoned sausage meat, they are easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion—from casual snacks to festive gatherings.
Ingredients
- 500 g pork sausage meat
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried sage or mixed herbs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the sausage meat with onion, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it lengthwise into two strips.
- Spoon the sausage mixture evenly along the center of each strip.
- Brush one edge of the pastry with beaten egg, then roll tightly to enclose the filling.
- Cut each roll into bite-sized pieces and place seam-side down on the tray.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds if using.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Use high-quality sausage meat for the best flavour.
- Puff pastry should be cold for easier handling.
- You can freeze unbaked sausage rolls for later use.
- Homemade rolls taste great both hot and cold.
- Adjust seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
