Mary Berry’s Sausage Rolls
Ingredients
- 225g pork sausage meat
- 50g mature cheddar, finely grated
- 2 tsp freshly chopped thyme leaves
- 320g ready-rolled puff pastry
- 1 free-range egg, thoroughly beaten
Method
Begin by combining the sausage meat, grated cheddar and fresh thyme in a bowl, then season generously with salt and pepper.
Mingle the ingredients with a fork before rolling out the puff pastry into a thin rectangle approximately 25 x 48cm.
Glaze the pastry with the beaten egg, then slice it widthways into six strips measuring roughly 8 x 25cm each.
Divide the seasoned sausage mixture into six equal portions, shape them into sausages and place them along one side of each pastry strip, leaving room for sealing.
Brush the beaten egg along both longer edges. Fold the pastry over the filling lengthways and press the edges together firmly to seal.
Neatly trim any excess pastry, then use a fork to crimp the sealed edges. Pop the long rolls in the fridge for ten minutes, then cut them into five or six individual portions.
Place them on baking trays and bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked.
