Note

These sausage rolls are best served piping hot for maximum crispiness, but they also taste excellent at room temperature, making them ideal for party platters.

For extra flavor, you can mix a tablespoon of Dijon mustard or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or sage into the sausage meat before rolling.

Store leftover cooled rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350ðF oven for 10 minutes to restore crispness.

If your pastry becomes too soft while handling, chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before rolling to prevent sticking.
