🌭 Sausage Rolls

🛒 Ingredients (Makes ~12 rolls)

• 1 lb (450 g) sausage meat (pork, beef, or chicken)

• 1 sheet puff pastry (about 8 oz / 225 g), thawed

• 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)

• 1 tsp dried sage or mixed herbs

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

• Optional: 1 Tbsp mustard or 1 Tbsp grated cheese for extra flavor

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Filling:

   • In a bowl, combine sausage meat, finely chopped onion, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.

3. Prepare Pastry:

   • Roll out puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.

   • Cut into 2–3 long rectangles (depending on the desired size).

4. Assemble Rolls:

   • Shape sausage mixture into a log along the center of each pastry rectangle.

   • Fold pastry over the sausage and seal edges by pressing gently.

   • Cut into smaller rolls (~3 inches each) if you want bite-sized pieces.

5. Egg Wash & Bake:

   • Brush each roll with beaten egg for a golden finish.

   • Optional: score the tops lightly with a knife for decoration.

   • Bake for 20–25 minutes or until pastry is golden and sausage is cooked through.

6. Serve:

   • Serve warm or at room temperature with ketchup, mustard, or a dipping sauce.

🍽️ Tips & Variations

• Cheese Sausage Rolls: Add grated cheddar inside with the sausage.

• Spicy: Mix in chili flakes or paprika to the sausage mixture.

• Mini Rolls: Cut pastry into smaller squares for party-size sausage rolls.

• Make Ahead: Assemble and refrigerate for a few hours before baking.

💡 Serving Size:

• One standard sausage roll is ~½ cup of pastry + sausage mixture.

• Makes ~12 rolls; for a half-cup portion, one roll is usually sufficient.

If you want, I can also create a “½-cup portion guide” for all the recipes you’ve asked about so you can see how much of each dessert, bread, or main dish fits into a measured serving.
