The best sausage roll pastry is Delia's quick flaky. I've just tried it with mince pies and I love it;)

Ok i'm going to "make" my own sausage rolls but i've never done it before i've only watched my mum so i just want to check i have it right before i poison myself or something similar

i take sasuages, wrap them in puff pastry (with a bit of egg here and there to stick and make it shiney) then bung them in the oven for about 20mins or so (hence "make" i'm not good at pastry so thats bought and it's just wrapping up sausages! :rotfl:)

is that right? or i have a missed out some vital step?


oh and can i freeze the result or is it best just to freeze the componants seperately?

Usually you use saugage meat rather than sausages. But if thats how your mum makes then and thats how you like them then its all good!

she tends to make them with what ever she has in the fridge/freezer to be honest.... but i do prefer the sausage ones shhhhh

cool, well as long as my method isn't going to kill me i'm off to make some sausage rolls

Thanks!! :T

Sausage meat is best as you can roll it as thick or thin as you like and you dont have to bite through a sausage skin.
you could always put a bit of apple puree on the the sausage, pork and aple sausage rolls are deeelicious.

oh I HAVE to tell you this
my nephew was supposed to be making apple turnovers in tech or home ec or whatever they call it (aged 15ish)
and he forgot his ingredients for the pastry so
he bought a sausage roll
opened it
ate the sausage meat
stuffed the now empty roll with apple
and passed it off...said he had 'pre cooked' the pastry

Hiya Annie!

You can freeze a a whole BTW

I make sausage rolls with sausages, but I add sage and onion stuffing to the meat, and a little bit of mixed herbs.

No ideas what they taste like as I'm a veggie! but my lot love them made that way

I usually use sausage meat to make mine but skinned sausages would be just the same.

This is how I do them:

- mix together, sausage meat breadcrumbs, parsley, sage, salt and pepper and an egg to bind.

- roll sausage meat mix into a sausage shape and lay on the rolled out pastry

- roll sausage in the pastry and seal the edge with beaten egg. Leave the join on the underside.

- chop into small sized rolls and make slits in the top

- put on baking tray and brush with beaten egg before cooking in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Serve warm out of the oven.


For pics of how I did them, see here

I'll add this to the main thread on making sausage rolls later to keep the ideas together.

ooh thanks for all the ideas for apples and sausage meat they sound really tasty! will have to try that next time, this time i just had my sausages so they did... and i'm not poisoned so must have worked ok!

Vali - that's actually brilliant wish i'd thought of things like that for home ec. :rotfl:
