Ploughman’s Sausage Rolls (Makes 8–10 rolls)

Ingredients:

1. Pork Sausage Meat – 1 lb (450g) (or remove casings from sausages)

2. Puff Pastry Sheet – 1 sheet (store-bought or homemade)

3. Sharp Cheddar Cheese – ½ cup, grated
   (Optional but traditional: Branston Pickle or apple chutney for filling)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Roll out puff pastry into a rectangle (~10×12 inches) and cut into two long strips.

3. Shape the filling:

   • Mix sausage meat with grated cheddar (and 1 tbsp chutney if using).

   • Divide into two long logs and place each down the center of a pastry strip.

4. Fold & seal:

   • Brush edges with beaten egg or milk.

   • Fold pastry over the filling, press edges to seal, and crimp with a fork.

5. Cut & score:

   • Slice into 2-inch pieces and score tops lightly with a knife.

   • Brush with egg wash (optional, for shine).

6. Bake 20–25 mins until golden brown and sausage is cooked through.

Serving Suggestion:

• Serve warm with Branston Pickle, mustard, or a crisp salad for a true Ploughman’s vibe.

Variations:

• Apple & Pork: Add ¼ cup finely diced apple to the filling.

• Spicy Kick: Mix in 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce or mustard.

• Vegetarian: Use plant-based sausage and cheese.

These are great for meal prep—reheat in the oven for 5 mins to keep them crispy! Let me know if you’d like a shortcut version. 😊
