Classic British Sausage Rolls

Ingredients

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Egg

1, beaten

Garlic

2 cloves, finely minced

Onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Sausage meat

500 grams

Puff pastry

1 sheet, thawed

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Shape the sausage mixture into a log and place it down the center of the rolled-out pastry.
5. Brush the edges of the pastry with half of the beaten egg.
6. Fold the pastry over the sausage meat, pressing the edges together to seal. You should now have a long sausage roll.
7. Cut the roll into 2-inch slices, then arrange them on the prepared baking tray.
8. Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the remaining beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage meat is cooked through.
10. Allow the sausage rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
