I make these sausage rolls for my children’s lunches at school; it makes a change from sandwiches.
First I make some quick flaky pastry by grating frozen butter onto flour and then mixing together with a palate knife. A little water is added to form a dough. The pastry is wrapped in cling film and refrigerated for about 1/2 an hour.
Next I roll the pastry into rectangles and place some sausages which I have de-skinned in a line down the middle. If the sausages are thin I squish two or three together.

Then I brush a little egg yolk along one edge and roll the meat in the pastry making sure the sealed edge ends up underneath.

Finally I brush egg yolk on the top of each long sausage, make slashes in the top for decoration and bake them.

Looks great. What temp do you bake them at? Any measurements on the flour and butter?
The recipe is Delia Smith one which is available at http://www.deliaonline.com/how-to-cook/baking/how-to-make-quick-flaky-pastry.html . Basically you grate 220g of frozen butter into 350g plain flour! Mix gently with a palate knife then bind together with some water. I’m glad you like the recipe.
