Sausage Rolls

I first learned about sausage rolls from watching this YouTube video from The Cheapskate Club.  As I watched the video I wrote the recipe and instructions down and set them aside.  This week I got around to making them and I wasn't disappointed!

Here's the recipe as I wrote it down along with some tips Cath gave …

Cath's Sausage Rolls

1 lb sausage
2 medium onions, grated
2 bread rolls or 4 slices bread, crumbled.  Lightly soak bread with hot water until squishy and mushy
1 egg
1 tbsp mixed herbs
3 sheets puff pastry
1 egg extra, for egg wash

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with baking paper. 

Combine all the ingredients until mixture is smooth. Use your hands, it's easier. 

Cut the pastry sheets in half. 

Divide the mixture into six and drop onto the pastry sheets.

Roll the pastry over the meat. 

Place seam side down on the baking sheets, three to a sheet. You need to leave lots of room between each sausage roll to allow the pastry to cook properly and evenly. 

Cut each sausage roll into four, not quite all the way through. 

Brush with the egg wash. 

Bake 30 minutes, turning regularly so the pastry cooks evenly. 

Remove from the oven and place on cooling racks immediately.
