Sausage Meat Filling:
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, ground lamb, chopped onion, suet, lemon zest, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg, mixed herbs, and chopped sage. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
-
Add Egg: Add the beaten egg to the mixture and mix again with a fork until everything is evenly incorporated.
Sausage Rolls:
-
Prepare Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry thinly into a rectangle, approximately 9″ x 9″. Cut the pastry lengthwise into 2 strips.
-
Divide Sausage Meat: Divide the sausage meat into 2 portions. Dust with flour and shape into 2 rolls of equal length to the pastry strips, each about 3/4 inch in diameter.
-
Assemble Rolls: Lay a roll of sausage meat down the center of each pastry strip. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little milk. Fold one side of the pastry over the sausage meat and press the edges firmly together to seal.
-
Seal Edges: Optionally, seal the long edges together by flaking. This helps ensure the filling stays inside during baking.
-
Brush with Milk: Brush the length of both rolls with milk. Cut each roll into slices approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches long.
-
Bake: Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake at 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) for about 30 minutes, or until the meat is thoroughly cooked and the pastry is golden brown. After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC) and continue baking.
-
Serve: Once baked, serve the sausage rolls hot or cold, as desired. They make a delightful appetizer or can be enjoyed as part of a main course.
