The key to these sausage rolls tasting just like the ones I used to get from “The Pie Shop”in Devizes, is the starting sausage and white pepper – yes – white pepper!

Instructions
For the Sausage Meat Mix
Mix the sausage meat ingredients and leave them to sit for at least ½ and hour, longer is better – in the fridge overnight would be best.
Pastry
Roll out the puff pastry to a large rectangle on a floured dry work surface
Making up the sausage rolls
Using your hands, roll the meat into 1 inch sausages and lay on the pastry in 3 or 4 lines.
Using a knife, slice the pastry into 3 or 4 (depending on how many lines of sausage meat you have)
Using a pastry brush or your fingers, wet one edge of the pastry with your egg wash mix.
Fold over the pastry, dry side to wet side and crimp with a fork.
using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into bite sized pieces (they will shrink up a little)
put diagonal cuts into the pastry for vents, cutting only just through the pastry
Baking
Place the sausage rolls spaced out onto parchment on the baking sheet
Brush your sausage rolls with the beaten egg prior to baking
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees
Notes
Serving Size = 3 mini sausage rolls. Good luck stopping at 3!
