Instructions
Preparation

- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into rectangles.
- Place a generous spoonful of the sausage mixture in the center of each rectangle.
- Carefully fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edges with a fork to create a nice, tight seal.
- Brush the tops of your rolls with beaten egg to achieve a lovely golden finish.
Baking
- Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.

Notes
Try not to overfill the pastry to prevent leaks during baking. Keep the puff pastry cold until you’re ready to work with it for the best flakiness. Experiment with your spice blends for a different taste.
