Mini Sausage Rolls

Hi, this recipe is my own but I did use this recipe to help me get the roll shape I wanted, so have a look if you are unsure by what I mean with the folding as it provides some good pictures to follow. These are plain sausage rolls but feel free to jazz them up as you see fit. Some good ideas are : adding apple and onion to the sausage, putting a little mustard in the roll before folding, adding a little cheese, maybe topping with poppy seeds, really it is up to you. I hope you enjoy!

Makes: 8 mini sausage rolls
Ingredients:
-200g sausage meat
-200g puff pastry {If using a home-made puff, you can find my recipe Here, you will also need some flour for rolling out}
-1tsp mixed herbs
-1/2tsp garlic powder
-1/2tsp onion powder
-Salt & Pepper
-1 egg yolk, to glaze

Method:
1: First, in a bowl mash together your sausage meat and herbs/seasonings. Then, wash your hands, once everything is well combined.
2: Roll out your pastry until it is about the thickness of a £1 coin and is a rectangle. I didn't measure the size but keep in mind how many sausage rolls you want to make and go from there.
3: Now, get your sausage meat and make a long cylinder with it, and place this along the middle of your pastry rectangle.
4: Fold over one half of the pastry, horizontally, so that the edges are touching and crimp with a fork.
5: Glaze your roll with a egg. and make diagonal lines across the top.
6: Here you have 2 choices, one: bake as a bar and cut up the rolls later or 2: divide into 8 sausage rolls and bake already cut. I did option 2. For both, you will need to bake on a lined baking tray for 25mins in a hot oven preheated to 180℃/160℃ fan/350℉/ Gas 4. Enjoy!!
