Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 5

Take the sausage mixture and form it into a long, even sausage shape along the longer edge of the puff pastry.

Roll the pastry tightly over the sausage meat to encase it, using a little of the beaten egg to seal the edges.

Step 7

Trim off any excess pastry and cut the roll into eight pieces.

Step 8

Place the rolls, seam side down, onto the prepared baking tray.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining beaten egg to give a golden glaze.
