Hosting a party? Sausage rolls are the perfect little snack for entertaining.
Prep time: 40 mins • Cooking Time: 20 mins
Ingredients
- 6-ounces very cold butter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose white flour
- Pinch salt
- Ice cold water
- 1 lb. pork sausage meat
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Pinch of Salt and Black Pepper
- 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
- Splash whole milk
- Coarse sea salt
- Fennel seeds
Directions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Using a grater, quickly grate the cold butter into the mixing bowl. Gently incorporate the butter into the flour using a fork or knife until the mixture becomes crumbly. Add ice-cold water in small increments to form a non-sticky dough that leaves the bowl clean. Carefully remove the dough from the bowl, place it in a covered container, and chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- In a bowl, mix together the sausage, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle your work surface with flour. Cut the pastry ball in half and roll into 2 strips approx. 16-inch x 6-inch each. Roll the sausage meat into 2 sausage shapes and place them along the middle of each strip. For the egg wash, whisk together egg yolks with a splash of milk. Coat the pastry either side of the sausage with the egg mixture. Fold the pastry over and press down to seal. Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with egg wash, sprinkle with fennel seeds and sea salt. Cut into 2-inch lengths and place them on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, until risen, puffed and golden brown.
