Puff Pastry Sausage Wheels

Submitted by threeovens

"This is appetizer/snack is very popular in Australia. It was introduced there by English settlers. I know you will be tempted to jazz these up with herbs or onion, well go right ahead! Sometimes simple is better, though. The original recipe calls for shortcrust pastry, but I use frozen puff pastry for ease."

I make these all the time using the exact same recipe. I wanted to recommend to anyone interested to use specialty flavored sausages for a variety of flavors. I get specialty brats (sun dried tomato, jerk seasoned, chicken and wild rice) remove the casing and use in my rolls, they are easy to make and always a hit.<br/><br/>Also proof that my people's food is delicious if prepared right!

These were wonderful! I will be making these all the time for appetizers. We ate them with our dinner last night and had some friends drop by later on who just ate them cold off the counter! I offered to heat them up, but he just kept eating and said "no, these are great!" Made for ZWT6

Oh wow! I made them with puff pastry, and the wonderful greasy richness of the sausage mixed with the puff pastry made a great little appetizer/snack. Do make sure you slightly overlap the puff pastry and use the milk to seal, some of mine 'opened up'. Still tasty, but didn't look as good. My future SIL put some maple syrup in the 'ugly' ones and said it was a great way to eat them too. FYI - I tried to make them with pie dough earlier. Stick with the puff pastry, it is easy, quick and tasty. Doesn't get better than that! Thanks threeovens! Made for Aus/NZ swap #69.

These are smashing! I used Jimmy Dean's Sage Sausage, right out of the roll with no changes. One 1 lb. roll 1 box of puff pastry = pure British delight! Will definitely make again. And again. And again!

We are slightly obsessed with sausage rolls in my house, especially homemade ones, so these went down a treat! They are so easy to make and I could not stop snacking on them haha!
