About This Recipe
Any good party needs a great Buffet, full of delicious food such as Sandwiches, mini sausages, Vol-au-vents and of course Mini Sausage Rolls.
When it comes to buffet food there is nothing better than the Mini Sausage roll and you can use any type of sausage meat for these sausage rolls, I sometimes just skin a few nice sausages and use that meat as a filling, and these are delicious served with some Red Onion Chutney.
I find it easier to use ready made puff pastry for convenience when making these, but you can make your own Ruff Puff Pastry if you are feeling the need.

The sausage roll, a beloved pastry that has captured the hearts and appetites of many, boasts a rich history that dates back centuries.
Its origins can be traced to the culinary traditions of ancient civilizations, where meat was often encased in dough for preservation and ease of transport. However, the modern sausage roll as we know it began to take shape in the 19th century, particularly in the United Kingdom, where it became a staple of street food culture.
The combination of seasoned sausage meat wrapped in flaky pastry not only provided a hearty meal for the working class but also showcased the ingenuity of British cuisine. Over time, variations emerged, incorporating different meats, spices, and even vegetarian options, reflecting the evolving tastes and dietary preferences of society.
Today, the sausage roll is not merely a snack; it is a symbol of comfort and nostalgia, often enjoyed at gatherings, celebrations, and even as a quick lunch on the go.
