- This is the recipe I use. It is very old. It is taken from Plain Cookery
- Recipes which is a Scottish recipe book that belonged to my mother. It
- uses British measurements so you will need a food scale.
-
- 1/2 lb. sausages (I use sausage links)
- Rough puff pastry (see below)
-
- Wipe, prick and blanch the sausages, remove the skin, and if too large cut
- in half. Roll the pastry to about 1/8" thick. Cut it in pieces. Place a
- sausage on each piece of pastry; wet round the edges, fold the pastry over,
- press the edges together, and knock up with the back of a knife. Place the
- sausage rolls on a baking sheet, brush them with beaten egg, and bake in a
- hot oven for about 30 minutes. Pile the sausage rolls neatly on a dish,
- and garnish with parsley. (I bake at 350)

- Rough Puff Pastry
-
- 8 ozs flour
- 4 ozs butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Few drops of lemon juice
- Cold water
-
- Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl; add the lemon juice and the butter
- broken into pieces the size of a walnut; add sufficient cold water to bind
- the ingredients together. Turn on to a floured board, and roll the
- pastry into a long strip. Fold it in three, and press the edges together.
- Half turn the pastry, rib it with the rolling pin to equalize the air in
- it, and again roll it into a strip. Fold in three and repeat this until
- the pastry has had four rolls, folds and half-turns. It is then ready for
- use.
