Introduction

Sausage rolls are a truly delicious treat and whilst you can happily make a good one with shop bought pastry, making your own flaky pastry is a great way to make these extra special. When it comes to flavouring you can use whatever strikes your fancy but for this classic recipe I have kept things simple using sage and mustard which adds a great flavour but doesn’t overpower the flavour of the sausage meat.

Method

  1. For the pastry, mix the flour, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the diced butter and toss to coat in the flour. Use your fingertips to press the butter into fat flakes. Chill this mixture in the fridge for 15-20 minutes or until the butter is firm. Remove the bowl from the fridge and drizzle in the water, a couple tablespoons at a time, stirring with a round-bladed knife. When the mixture is starting to hold together, use your hands to briefly bring together into a uniform dough. Shape into a rectangle, wrap in clingfilm, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. On a lightly floured work surface roll out into a rectangle roughly 30x20cm. Fold the dough into thirds like a business letter. Wrap back up in clingfilm and refrigerate another 30 minutes. Repeat the rolling and folding a second time and then refrigerate for a final 30 minutes before using.
  3. To make the filling place the sausage meat into a large bowl and set aside for the moment. In a frying pan, set over low/medium heat, add the oil and once hot add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook for about 10 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or just until starting to brown. Add the sage and stir to combine then turn off the heat and set aside to cool a little. Scrape the onion mixture into the bowl of sausage meat along with bread crumbs and season very well with salt and lots of black pepper.
  4. Preheat the oven to 220ºC (200ºC Fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  5. On a lightly floured work surface roll out the dough into a rectangle that is about 3-4mm thick and roughly 20cm x 50cm in size. Trim the edges to cut into a neat rectangle. Brush the pastry with the mustard and then lay the sausage meat mixture along the pastry, in a thick sausage shape. Fold the pastry up and over the sausage meat pressing together to seal, crimping with a fork. Trim the excess pastry so there is a 'handle' of about 2 cm. Use a serrated knife to cut into sausage rolls, you can cut these into whatever size you like but I prefer to cut into 12 rolls. Place the sausage rolls on the prepared baking tray and brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Remove and allow to cool slightly before eating.
