Here's how to make shortcrust pastry sausage rolls made with just 3 ingredients. This recipe is easy, quick and is so tasty too.
Ingredients
- 320 g Shortcrust Pastry (1 pack)
- 6 Sausages (approximately 400g to 450g)
- 1 Egg

- Divide the sausage meat into 4 sections and form each section into a long sausage shape.
- Unroll the shortcrust pastry sheet and leave it on the parchment paper that comes with it. With a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the pastry in half lengthways then across to create 4 quarters of pastry.320 g Shortcrust Pastry
- Whisk an egg and brush one section of pastry with the egg wash. Place one piece of sausage on top of the egg washed pastry and align it to the top.
- Roll the pastry around the sausage meat and press the edges with your fingers. Repeat for the remaining three sheets of pastry and sausage meat.
- Place the sausage rolls onto a lined baking tray and use a sharp knife to cut diagonal slits across the pastry.
- To avoid a soggy bottom, chill the sausage rolls in the freezer or fridge for at least 5 to 10 minutes (10 minutes for best results). At this time, preheat your oven to 200°C (gas mark 6, 180°F).
- Brush the whisked egg over the pastry. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the shortcrust pastry is light golden-brown and the sausage meat is cooked throughout.1 Egg

Notes
Make sure the shortcrust pastry is cold, cold, cold! The colder the pastry is the less sticky it will be. Use pastry that has been stored in the fridge and has been left out for 5 to 10 minutes to thaw. Leaving the pastry to thaw prevents it from breaking apart when rolling it out.
