Sausage Rolls

Ingredients

• 160g sausage meat
• 200g shop-bought puff pastry
• 1 egg

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 3

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°c.
2. Roll out the pastry to a thickness of about ½cm and cut it into strips about 12cm wide. Then beat the egg in a cup.
3. Season the sausage meat with salt & pepper and put a line of it down the middle of each pastry strip about 2cm- 3cm wide.
4. For each strip of pastry, fold one side of the pastry over the sausage meat, brush the other side of the pastry with the beaten egg and then roll the pastry-encased sausage side over onto the flap of pastry, gently pressing it down to seal in the sausage meat.
5. Cut each roll into pieces about 5cm long, brush each of them with the beaten egg and put them on a baking tray.
6. Put the baking tray into the oven for 20 minutes, until the pastry is a golden brown colour.
7. Remove from the oven and serve them warm.
