English Sausage Rolls
These bite sized English sausage rolls make the perfect appetizer for parties or entertaining. Each bite is crispy on the outside with a delicious savory inside. Plus there's the cuteness factor that makes them pretty much irresistible.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed, see note
- 12 ounces (¾ pound) pork sausage
- flour for coating
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper, if desired, and set aside (not completely necessary but does make the cleanup a bit easier).
-
Tear or cut each puff pastry sheet along the fold lines into 3 rectangular pieces, creating 6 pieces total.
-
Divide sausage into six 2-ounce portions and roll into balls. Coat each ball with flour and roll into a long snake the length of the pastry sheet. Place sausage in the center of the pastry sheet. Brush water along one end and seal ends together so pastry completely covers sausage.
-
Slice each roll into 8 slices for appetizers (see note). Place seam side down on baking sheet. With a sharp knife cut 2 slits in each roll. Brush with beaten egg.
-
Bake 375 degrees for 23-27 minutes or until sausage is cooked through and rolls are golden brown and crispy. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Recipe Notes
1. We usually make this with pepperidge farms, frozen puff pastry.
2. Instead of cutting them, you can also leave the rolls long to serve with a meal.
