We’ve only recently started making our own sausage rolls at home, but now that we’ve tried them, there’s no going back to the shop-bought variety. The homemade version is altogether a different thing – flaky pastry, good quality sausage meat of your choice (I get mine from Hedges Farm in St Albans) and a few optional extras, like some softly cooked leeks (there was a lone leek in my veg box), or caramelised onions, and a sparkling of poppy seeds, or even sesame seeds. We look forward to having these as an after-school snack (they are super-quick to whisk out of the freezer) or as party food and they’d certainly be great for serving up as a homemade canapé to Christmas visitors. Here’s my recipe, hope you get to try them.
Make-Ahead Leek and Poppy Seed Sausage RollsI’m linking this up to December’s Simple and in Season as I used fresh, seasonal leeks to add some flavour.
Also, to Festive Family Foodies hosted by Vanesther at Bangers and Mash and Lou at Eat Your Veg as these could be served at a kids Christmas party.
I’m also joining in with Shop Local at Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary as my sausages came from a local farm called Hedges Farm.
Finally, to Extra Veg hosted by Michelle at Utterly Scrummy and Helen at Fuss Free Flavours as I’ve added leeks to my sausage rolls.
Happy festive baking!
