Mini Sausage Rolls with Puff Pastry Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200c fan. Line a large oven tray with baking parchment.Note - Skip this step if using an air fryer. Scroll for specific air fryer cooking instructions.

Step 2

Roll 375 g Puff Pastry into a large rectangle or unroll a sheet of ready rolled puff pastry on a floured surface.

Step 3

Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry sheets into 3 equal pieces. Make the shorter cut of the two or the pastry will be too thin to roll.

Step 4

Remove the skins from 500 g Pork Sausage Meat.

Step 5

Divide the sausage meat evenly along the middle of each pastry strip. I did this by rolling each unskinned sausage a little thinner and squidging the ends together.

Step 6

Beat 1 Egg in a small bowl,

Step 7

Use a pastry or silicone brush to egg wash all of the exposed pastry.

Step 8

Roll the pastry around the sausage meat.

Step 9

Make sure to fully seal the edges together so that it doesn’t come apart during the cooking process.

Step 10

Line up the long sausage rolls and use a sharp knife to cut them all in half.

Step 11

Cut each half roll into 6 further pieces. I do this by halving each again and then cutting each smaller roll into 3.

Step 12

Move the rolls onto the lined baking tray.

Step 13

Use more of the beaten egg to wash the tops and sides of each sausage roll. Spend a little time doing this so that they’re fully covered (not the ends with exposed sausage meat).

Step 14

Bake the rolls for 20 minutes until they are a light golden brown and the sausage meat is cooked all the way through. You can cut into one to check.

Step 15

Serve hot or cold.

Step 16

Prepare the sausage rolls per the oven instructions but apply the egg wash without moving them to a tray.

Step 17

Preheat your air fryer if your version requires you to.

Step 18

Once hot, remove the basket and lightly grease using an oil spray (not fry light) or brush on some oil. Be careful because the basket will now be hot.

Step 19

Use tongs to carefully place the rolls into the basket. Make sure to leave enough room for the rolls to puff up.

Step 20

Cook for 15 minutes at 180c/350f.

Step 21

Remove the rolls from the basket to a cooling rack then continue to cook the remaining rolls in as many batches as you need.
