  • flour to roll and dust the pastry

Method:

  • Carefully remove the skin from the sausages.
  • Lightly roll the sausage meat between your palms to loosen the meat a little.
  • Place the sausage meat along the centre of the pastry.
  • Using a sharp knife cut strips from the sausage meat through the pastry to the edge of the pastry.
  • Plait the pastry over the sausage meat working down the pastry.
  • Gentle pat the pastry strips with a finger to bring together.
  • Lightly oil and flour a baking tray and place the sausage rolls on the tray.
