This is a fabulous combination of hot Italian sausage and shatteringly delicate puff pastry. Each one bite portion is an explosion of wonderful favour and texture. The honey mustard dip takes the old-fashioned sausage rolls to dazzling new heights.
The recipe is easy to make, but it helps if you have follow the preparation tips.
Use a 5/1/2 or 5/8 inch plan tip to pipe the sausages. Anything larger and you’ll run out of filling . Use a narrow pastry brush for the egg wash. It gives you more control.
A ruler is handy to measure the size of your rolled puff pastry strips and to cut your rolled pastry.
Leave your rolled out pastry on the original wrapping paper. Measure and cut into portions.

Thank you for sharing this….I think there is a little misprint in your recipe ingredients….you meant to say clove of garlic but you wrote “onion”. You do mention garlic in the directions. I am going to make this. It sounds HEAVENLY!!
