These homemade sausage rolls are a crowd-pleaser, perfect for parties or a casual snack. Flaky puff pastry encases a savory pork sausage filling, creating a delicious bite every time.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the pork sausage meat, finely chopped onion, dried sage, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. If using a block, roll it out to a rectangle approximately 30cm x 25cm.
Divide the sausage mixture into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a long sausage shape, roughly the length of the pastry sheet.
Place one sausage-shaped mixture along one long edge of the puff pastry. Brush the opposite long edge with the beaten egg.
Carefully roll the pastry over the sausage mixture, pressing the egg-washed edge to seal. Trim any excess pastry. Repeat with the second half of the mixture and pastry.
Cut each rolled pastry into 12 equal pieces. Place the sausage rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the remaining beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up, and the sausage meat is cooked through.
Let cool slightly before serving. These are delicious served warm.
Notes
For an extra flavour boost, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the sausage mixture. These can be made ahead of time and reheated.
