Best Sausage rolls

How to make Best Sausage rolls recipe - Saucisses briochées recette

Serves 4

Remove the casings from 8 good-quality pork sausages. Crumble the peeled sausages into a bowl, and add 2 peeled, cored, and chopped Granny smith apples and a few chopped sage leaves. Mix well.

Roll out 1lb 2oz (500g) prepared puff pastry (preferably made with butter) into an oblong shape about 12 x 6in (30 x 15cm) and ¼in (5mm) thick. Mold the sausage meat into a large sausage shape about as long as the pastry, and place down the center of the pastry.

Brush the edges of the pastry with a little water, then fold one side over so that the edges meet and cover the meat; seal using the back of a fork or by pinching together with your finger and thumb.

Cut into 8 sausage rolls, brush with a little beaten egg yolk, and cook in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for about 20 minutes, until golden. Serve hot.
