🍽️ Introduction:
British sausage rolls are the ultimate comfort snack — flaky, golden puff pastry wrapped around juicy, seasoned sausage meat. Found everywhere from UK bakeries to holiday parties, these rolls are easy to make at home and perfect for lunchboxes, appetizers, or a classic afternoon tea. This recipe uses simple ingredients and delivers bakery-style results every time.
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry (or homemade)
- 400g (14 oz) sausage meat or high-quality sausages (skins removed)
- 1 small onion, finely grated or minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme or sage
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: 1 tsp English mustard or 1 tbsp breadcrumbs (for texture and kick)
🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix sausage meat, onion, herbs, garlic powder, mustard (if using), salt, and pepper. Combine until smooth.
2. Assemble the Rolls
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Unroll pastry and cut lengthwise into two strips. Divide sausage mixture evenly and form into long logs down the center of each strip. Fold the pastry over the meat and seal the edge with a fork.
3. Slice & Score
Cut into mini rolls or leave as large ones. Score the top with a sharp knife and brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.
4. Bake
Place on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
