Scrumptious Sausage Rolls
These can be made Gluten Free or with normal puff (gluten) pastry. Both are delicious! *Luke’s pastry (see the top of the photo, the row at the very back).
INGREDIENTS:
1 portion of Sausage Mince (from the supermarket; usually 500g)
1 1/2 teaspoons Massel Chicken stock powder
Chives, finely chopped.
1 grated Carrot - optional but healthier, my oldest insists!
Ground black pepper
x2 sheets of Puff Pastry OR Cook with Luke’s Golden pastry (see below).
1 Egg, for egg wash on top of pastry
Sesame Seeds
Cook with Luke: GOLDEN PASTRY
200 g (2 cups) MCKENZIE’S Almond Flour
3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
2 eggs, whisked
1 teaspoon MCKENZIE’S gluten-free baking powder
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
1. Remove sheets of puff pastry from freezer to thaw. And/or make Luke’s golden pastry. It only makes a small amount so if you are feeding a family, I’d double the mix. Also, it needs to go in the fridge for at least 20 - 30 minutes (I left it longer and it wasn’t a problem).
Mix the chicken stock powder, chives and carrots into the sausage mince. Stir in thoroughly. Add pepper to taste.
2. Make Luke’s pastry: For the golden pastry, combine the almond flour, coconut oil or butter, whisked egg and baking powder in a bowl and mix well to form a sticky, wet dough. You should be able to roll it so it holds its form without cracking or breaking apart. If it’s too dry, add a little more melted butter; if it’s too wet, add a little more almond meal. Roll into 4 evenly sized balls, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes while you get started on the filling.
3. Cut the bought puff pastry in half, and spread the mix over the four lengths of divided pastry, plus Luke’s pastry: Remove a dough ball from the fridge and place it on a sheet of baking paper. Cover with another sheet of baking paper and roll out the dough to form a 10 cm × 15 cm rectangle about 5 mm thick.
4. Place on Gladbake paper and brush with lightly whisked egg. Add sesame seeds.
5. Cook for at least 20 minutes, or until golden.
Yum! xo
