A Scottish recipe using beef instead of pork, to fill puff pastry to create incredibly delicious Sausage Rolls.

Ingredients

  • 18 oz puff pastry (easiest is buying a package like Trader Joe's)
  • 1 lb ground beef (you can still use pork or a mixture of beef and pork or even turkey)
  • 1 cup water or less
  • 1 ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
  • ¾ tsp coriander (dried, ground do not use fresh cilantro)
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg white (slightly beaten)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F (200C)
  • 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, aluminum 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 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve with brown sauce (HP Sauce is my preference).

Notes

How to make your own breadcrumbs.
TIP: if serving as appetizers, just make them smaller or cut into bite sized pieces before baking.
How to Freeze Sausage Rolls.
  • These sausage rolls freeze really well and are a great party food!
  • Here's what I do: bake them as directed, but take them out of the oven about 5 to 7 minutes early so they're not as golden brown as you would want them. Cool completely, then freeze.
How do I Reheat Frozen Sausage Rolls?
  • To serve your frozen Scottish sausage rolls, defrost them in the refrigerator beforehand.
  • When you want to heat them, take them from the refrigerator and place on a baking sheet for at least half an hour or bring to room temperature.
  • Place in preheated oven at 375º F (190º C) for 10 to 15 minutes or until hot and golden brown.
