SAUSAGE ROLLS (225 calories)

This is one of my "secret" recipes from my Pastrycook days. It's really very easy.

I scaled down the recipe so that it makes 1 dozen full sized sausage rolls (225 calories each) or 2 dozen cocktail-sized rolls at only 112 calories each.

Pastry :

3  sheets   Frozen Puff Pastry

Filling :

500      g        Lean Mince

210     ml      Water

20        g        Dried Onion Flakes

2/3     tsp      Salt

1/2     tsp      Pepper

1 1/2  tsp      Mixed Herbs

1         cup     Oats

METHOD:

1.    Mix all filling ingredients thoroughly.

2.    Place the 3 sheets of pastry side by side and cut the pastry in half (lengthwise) so you have six pieces of pastry, 3 on top and 3 below 

3.    Spread the filling mix evenly in a line in the middle of the upper and lower rows of pastry 

4.    Moisten the pastry (to help it stick) and roll up 

5.    Brush with milk. Cut upper and lower row into 6 rolls to make 12 full sized rolls ... or cut rows into 12 rolls to make 24 cocktail-sized rolls 

6.   Place in rows on a tray with baking paper and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C for approximately 14 minutes  

7.  Place on a plate with a dob of tomato sauce and give to any eager children that are hovering about ... and/or have a seat and enjoy them for yourself !
