Lorraine Pascale's scary 'mummy' sausage rolls recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 tsp sunflower oil
- 12 sausages (or 15 chipolatas)
- 320 g (11.3oz) ready rolled puff pastry
- 1 beaten egg, to glaze
- 75 g (2.6oz) American-style mustard
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a low heat and gently fry the sausages or chipolatas for about 8 minutes, turning often, until lightly browned all over.
- Transfer to a plate and leave for about 20 minutes until cool.
- After this time, preheat the oven to 220C, (fan 200C), 425F, Gas Mark 7.
- Unroll the ready rolled pastry, leaving it sitting on its plastic wrapping.
- The pastry should be about 38cm long and 23cm wide (or trim with a knife or roll to this size with a rolling pin if not far off).
- Using a long knife or pastry cutter, cut out 38 x 1cm wide strips across the width (so they will be about 23cm long).
- Now, simply wrap the strips around the cooled sausages or chipolatas like mummies bandages, leaving a gap near one end for the mummies eyes to go on later.
- Use three strips per sausage or two and a half strips per chipolata.
- There will be the odd bit left over, but just add them onto a sausage or chipolata to use them up.
- Dont worry if the pastry strips stretch or break as you wrap, just patch it up and keep wrapping.
- The mummies are best looking rustic anyhow.
- Place them down on a baking tray as you go, eye side up.
- If at any time you find the pastry is getting too soft, then pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes or until firmed up.
- Once all wrapped, brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Place them in the oven to cook for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausages are fully cooked through.
- Transfer to a serving platter.
- Using the end of a teaspoon, place two dots of mustard on the exposed sausage of each one to create eyes.
- Serve at once with the remaining mustard for dipping.
