Servings: 12
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 12 sausage rolls

Ingredients:

  • Puff Pastry Sheets: 1 (17.3-ounce) package, thawed
  • Dijon Mustard: ¼ cup
  • Pork Sausage Meat or Ground Pork: 1 (16 ounce) package
  • Egg: 1 large, beaten

Directions for English Sausage Rolls

  1. Preparation:
    • Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Pastry:
    • Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets on a clean surface. Cut along the fold lines of each sheet to create 6 equal squares per sheet, totaling 12 squares.
  3. Assemble the Rolls:
    • Brush each pastry square with a thin layer of Dijon mustard.
    • Divide the sausage meat into 12 equal portions and shape each into a small log. Place one sausage log on each mustard-brushed square.
    • Roll the pastry around the sausage. Seal the edges with some of the beaten egg.
  4. Bake:
    • Place the sausage rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then check to ensure they are not burning. Continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F (70°C) for safety.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve these warm for the best flavor, or let them cool and store for later. They can be reheated easily or enjoyed cold.

Tips for the English Sausage Rolls

  • These sausage rolls can be frozen before baking. Simply prepare the rolls, freeze them on a baking sheet, and then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
