Thesehoney mustard sausage rolls with a light sweet-tangy pork filling and crunchy golden puff pastry are a delicious addition to lunchboxes, picnics, and make a tasty canapé too.
Preheat the oven 190˚C fan / 210˚C / 374˚F convection / 410˚F
Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Squeeze the sausage meat out of the casings into a medium size mixing bowl.
Add the runny honey, wholegrain mustard, dijon mustard, breadcrumbs, and tear the leaves off the sprig of thyme and add too.
Mix well to combine.
Cut each sheet of puff pastry in half.
Take ⅙ of the mixture and form into a sausage shape along the middle of one piece of pastry.
Brush one edge of the pastry with beaten egg, then roll the pastry over the filling to enclose it. Press down lightly to seal.
Cut in to 6 sausage rolls and place on the lined tray. Repeat with the rest of the pastry and sausage meat.
Brush the top of each sausage roll with beaten egg, then place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until golden.
Notes
Pastry - I use Pampas frozen puff pastry sheets that are approx. 160g (5.5oz) each. If you are in the UK, you can use a 500g block of Jus-roll puff pastry.Sausages - plain pork sausages, the best quality you can afford.Honey - runny honey.Mustard - wholegrain mustard and dijon mustard.Breadcrumbs - here I have used homemade breadcrumbs made from placing a slice of bread in a mini blender and processing until small breadcrumbs. You can use bought breadcrumbs of panko breadcrumbs.Fresh Thyme - adds a herby flavour to the sausage roll filling. You can leave this out or substitute with ⅙ teaspoon of dried timeEgg - acts as a glue to hold the pastry together, and gives the sausage rolls a golden shiny glaze. You can use a little water to seal the pastry and leave unglazed if you don't want to use an egg or want eggless sausage rolls. Please keep in mind they won't look as golden and shiny without the egg.
