Sausage rolls (literally sausages in pastry) are a staple of British party food, and actually pretty easy to make (with pre-made pastry sheets). We like to have these for Holiday and Birthday celebration, or just for tasty snacks . Here's my recipe.
16oz ground pork or pork sausage (I see no reason why this couldn't be recplaced by ground beef or turkey, but traditional in the UK is pork)
Bread crumbs ~1 cup
1 egg (mixed - put about half in the sausage mix, reserve some for an egg wash)
1 tsp ground sage
2tsp thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 packet puff pasty sheets
Preheat oven to 425 F
Mix meat, breadcrumbs, most of the egg and flavourings together well.
Cut puff pasty sheets in half.
Make long "sausages" with the meat mixture down the middle of the pasty
Paint egg wash around the edges and seal into a long roll.
Cut each into 6 (or size as desired)
Egg wash the top, make small knife cuts to decorate.
Cook for ~30 mins until meat is cooked through and pastry golden brown.
