Notes
- Storage - Sausage Rolls will keep for up to a few months in the freezer. Wrap up uncooked sausage rolls in cling film and you'll always have a tasty treat on hand. Once cooked, they'll keep for a few days in a sealed container in the fridge, or you can freeze them if you need and just reheat in the microwave or oven. Watch out: If reheating in the microwave, your pastry will lose the crispiness, but should still taste okay!
- Add veggies - If you want to make them a little healthier, add 1 grated carrot and 1 grated celery stick to the beef mince mixture.
- Beef Mince - If you don't have beef mince, you can use sausage meat (squeezed out of the casings) instead or make the pork version.
- Garlic Salt - You should find this at your local supermarket. Alternatively, use 1 tsp of minced garlic and a pinch of salt.
- Mace - This peppery spice is actually the outer case of the nutmeg seed. Substitute with 1/4 tsp of pepper if you need.
