Crispy, flaky pastry? Tender, tasty meat? Oh HELLO! Whenever I go to visit my lovely Mum, she brings out a batch of her own homemade Sausage Rolls. Now, hers include her own homemade flaky puff pastry but, my friends, I cannot quite match that. I’ve pared these down to make them as simple as possible so that you can whip up a batch whenever you fancy. They’re perfect for a party buffet, picnics, packed lunches, a quick snack or as part of a bigger meal.
