Sausage rolls
1 cup plain flour
3oz. butter or margarine
1/2 level tsp salt
cold water
few drops of lemon juice
4-8 ozs sausage meat
litte egg and milk
Preheat oven 450F, sieve flour and salt in mixing bowl.
Divide butter into 4 pieces.
Rub 1 piece of butter into the flour Add lemon juice and 6
teaspoons of water. Mix. Now add water a little at a time
until pastry will form a ball.
Sprinkle the pastry board and rolling pin with flour. Make
the pastry into a sausage shape and roll it out to about 9
ins long and 3 ins wide. Mark the pastry into 3
parts...don't cut it.
Take 1 piece of butter and put little pats of it on the
top 2/3 of the pastry. Fold the bottom 1/3 of the pastry
up and the top 1/3 down to make a purse shape. Turn the
pastry so the open flap is on your Left. Roll out the
pastry again and repeat with the third and fourth pieces
of butter. Then roll the pastry out until it is 9 ins,
long and 6 ins wide. Cut the pastry in half down the
middle. Divide the sausage into two pieces and roll them
so they are as long as the pastry. Lay one sausage on one
piece of pastry. Wet the edge of the pastry, fold the
pastry over the sausage and stick it down on the other
edge. Cut into four pieces. Mark each sausage roll with 3
cuts. Make the second piece of pastry the same way. Put
the rolls on a baking tray (I use Pam spray on the tray).
Brush the tops with the egg and milk mix Bake for 10 mins
on top shelf then turn oven down to 350F and bake another
25 minutes. I check after 20 mins.
