Scottish Sausage Rolls


Description

These simple sausage rolls also freeze well for a quick dinner with a side salad on a busy weeknight. Easy to make and delicious!

Ingredients

1 slightly beaten egg white, to brush pastry
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
3/4 tsp black pepper
One package puff pastry
Water
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp coriander (dried, ground) do not use fresh cilantro
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 lb ground beef

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together the salt with all the spices and breadcrumbs.

Add the ground beef, and about 1/2 cup of water. Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until it has a meatloaf texture, adding water as needed. The sausage should hold together when squeezed, without being too wet.

Place the puff pastry on a clean counter, mat or board. Cut into rectangular(ish) pieces, they don’t need to be exact, depending on the size of the rolls you want to make; from cocktail size to “man” size. Alternatively, you can make a long roll and then cut them into the size you desire.

Shape some meat into logs, and place close to one end of the pastry, but don’t put too much meat or they will burst open when baking.

With your finger, lightly dampen one of the edges with a little water, seal shut, then crimp with a fork, as shown.

Place on a lined (silpat, aluminium foil or parchment) edged baking tray, make three or four small cuts in the top of the pastry, and brush with a little beaten egg white.

Bake sausage rolls in preheated 400º F oven for about 25 min or until golden brown.

Serve with brown sauce (HP Sauce is my preference) or sauce of your choice.
