Easy Sausage Puffs. So delicious!

Everybody knows what a Sausage Roll is, and this recipe shows you how to make them, but for a change, I thought we should make them in a different shape, and a little larger. They look lovely on a plate at a party, or great to have at a picnic or in a lunch box, or if you're like me, you will eat them as soon as they come out of the oven, burning your tongue as you take a bite!

I like to eat mine with a blob of my favourite sweet Caribbean Pineapple or Mango Chutney, some like to use tomato ketchup, some like them on their own the choice is up to you! As for the pastry, I make my own, but of course, you can buy the ready-made pastry.

In this recipe, I have made my own pastry, from my flaky pastry recipe. However, I have tried making these using shop-bought Puff Pastry and it works well. So you have options to make or to buy! Don't be frightened at the thought of making your own pastry! It's a really simple recipe. This amount of pastry will make you about 14 sausage puffs.

If you have too much pastry, it will freeze nicely if wrapped in plastic wrap and a ziplock bag.

Ingredients

The Pastry

8 oz or 225 g defrosted flaky or puff pastry OR go to use my recipe for making your own homemade pastry dough with our delicious quick and easy flaky pastry recipe.

The Filling

8 oz or 250 g Sausage Meat*
A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 egg (for egg wash)

*If you can't get hold of sausage meat, use ground meat but fry ground meat & seasonings off first. Sausage meat can go in the puffs raw.

Filling Options

You can also add some grated cheese, chopped chillies, crushed garlic, sweetcorn or any other flavours you fancy to the sausage meat mixture

Instructions

1. First, if you are making your own pastry, do that and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare all the ingredients. If you are adding extras like parsley, cheese etc chop and grate what you need.

3. Once you've done that, add all your ingredients together and mix in well. I use my hand to mix everything together. I added sweetcorn and some fresh herbs to the mix too!

4. Get your flaky pastry out of the fridge, roll the pastry out until 3-4 mm in thickness. You want to be able to cut roughly 12-14 pieces of 3-inch squares from your pastry. Preheat your oven to 220C, Gas 7, 425F

5. Once rolled, use a sharp knife and cut squares, measuring 3 inches by 3 inches and place on a baking tray.

6. Use a spoon and place some filling in the middle of each square, be careful not to let any filling go on the edges.

7. Brush the edges with some beaten egg.

8. Fold the pastry over and use the back of a fork to push along the edges to seal, or gently push down with your fingers.

Note you can make whatever shapes and sizes you want!

9. Use a sharp knife or scissors to make an incision on the tops of all the sausage puffs (to let the steam out and keep the pastry crispy)

10. Brush all over with beaten egg

11. Place in the oven for 15 minutes. or until golden brown. This photo below was smaller puffs I made for a party and simply cut into bite-sized pieces.

When done, place on a cooling rack and eat when warm. They are nicer just warm than Piping hot! Serve as they are or with a nice little salad for a light lunch or supper.
