Sausage rolls

I can’t remember ever making sausage rolls before – gasp! True story 😊

I had some pork mince and wanted to do something different with it and BAM there it was!

What I love about this is how flexible the recipe is.

It could be perfect for children who eat sausages but also perfect for those who don’t!

I have a tonne of simple swaps so these sausage rolls rock for more children.

Also, I made the pastry (super simple recipe) but you can of course use pre-made.

Recipe – Sausage rolls

I mixed pork mince with some finely diced leek, some apple and some herbs – no pre-cooking required – how good is that?!

You could do plain pork or chicken mince or combine with any veg/herbs that are a fit.

Alternatively you can just add a sausage to the middle, or squeeze out sausage fillings and add extras – or not!

Method – sausage rolls

Heat oven to 200˚
Roll pastry into a rectangle
Add a line of filling down the middle
Roll up and seal (can use a little water or egg to glue)
Placed in a greased baking dish

Score pastry lightly along the top
Brush on beaten egg (optional)
Bake for approx 20-25 minutes until pastry is browning
Serve hot or cold

Pastry – home-made

125g – flour (I used wholemeal)
30g lard (can buy cheaply in the supermarket)
30g butter diced finely
25ml cold water (approx)

Method – pastry

Place flour, lard and butter into a food processor and pulse to make crumb (or manually rub together in a bowl)
Add cold water to form a firm dough (add water carefully so it doesn’t get too wet)
Bring together into a ball
Place in the fridge to rest while making the filling
Roll out using a little flour to stop sticking
