These sausage rolls are one of many amazing party treats in our Christmas Party Collection! In this festive season I get asked quite often for easy party food recommendations. We all love tasty bites that are easy to prepare yet impressive. Sausage rolls are an absolute must for any British gathering. I have never been to one where hosts didn’t offer them. Yet all too often they are store bought, which means bland sausage and soggy pastry. It’s a real shame because freshly made sausage rolls are hard to match when it comes to holiday entertaining. They are also incredibly easy and quick to make at home.
How to make
Sausage rolls take very little to bring together because most of the flavour is already packed up for you in the sausages. That means you will only need 2 main ingredients:
puff pastrysausage of your choice
Plus 10 minutes of hands on time! I personally quite like using Spanish Chorizo in place of a regular sausage. Its spiciness plays well with rich pastry and pairs well with the buttery pastry. These chorizo rolls are so delicious they will disappear in minutes, which means if you are bringing them to a large party, either double the recipe or be prepared to face some disappointed faces. If you really want to cut down on your prep time I would recommend buying already rolled puff pastry, it’s perfect for this recipe. Try to find all butter pastry for the best results.
Take one sheet of puff pastry and place skinned chorizo sausage along the long side like so and brush egg wash next to it.Fold the pastry, so one side aligns with the egg-washed line and cut along that line. Seal the edges with a fork, cut the roll into individual pieces, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds or both.Transfer the rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Then repeat the process with the remaining pastry and sausage.Bake in the oven at 420F/220C for 15 minutes.
Cook the sausage rolls as per the recipe instructions and cool.Then stack them in an airtight container while separating each layer with wax paper.Reheat in the oven at 200C/400F for 25-30 minutes from frozen, or use an air fryer.
