AUSTRALIAN SAUSAGE ROLLS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine first 6 ingredients and 3/4 teaspoon paprika. Add sausage; mix lightly but thoroughly., On a lightly floured surface, roll each pastry sheet into an 11x10-1/2-in. rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 3 strips. Spread 1/2 cup sausage mixture lengthwise down the center of each strip. Fold over sides, pinching edges to seal. Cut each log into 6 pieces., Place on a rack in a 15x10x1-in. pan, seam side down. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Bake until golden brown and sausage is no longer pink, 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 220c.
• Lay all the sheets of pastry out on your counter top.
• In Australia, this pastry comes interleaved with plastic, which I still leave on at this stage.
• Mix together the meat, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, milk and salt and pepper.
• The mixture will be quite sloppy-this keeps the sausage rolls moist.
• Whisk the egg and 2 tablespoons of milk together in a small bowl.
• Fill a large piping bag (no nozzle) with the mix and squeeze out a long line of mix down the long edge of the pastry-about 1/2 an inch in from that edge.
• Roll up, peeling the plastic away as you roll.
• Seal the inner edge with a little of the egg mix.
• Cut each of these rolls in half.
• I like to make an indent with a sharp knife in the middle of each of these smaller rolls to make them easier to eat.
• Prick each roll a couple of times with a fork.
• Repeat this until all the pastry and mix is used.
• Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg mix.
• Place in the oven and cook for 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to 200c and cook for a further 20 minutes.
• Remove to a tray to cool a little before serving them with ketchup or (my favourite) BBQ sauce.
