Easy sausage rolls

Yes, another recipe. Also possibly an indication why it is I need to lose weight :)

Ingredients

• 1 square puff pastry
• a little bit of milk

filling

• 250g pork mince
• 3/4 piece of bread finely chopped or grated
• 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
• about a tablespoon of herbs. I use 4 leaves fresh sage and a dash of dried thyme.
• a dash of chicken stock
• salt and pepper

Method

Preheat oven to 200 C.
Cut pastry in half.
Mix filling ingredients. On each piece of pastry, place half of the filling mix in a long sausage and roll up. Use wet fingers to secure the edge. Cut each roll in half.
Place rolls on baking paper on an oven tray and brush the tops with milk. Bake for around 20 minutes until browned.
Makes 4.

I find they always go a bit soggy on the bottom, you can either put up with this or do something like drying them off and putting them in upside down on a new piece of baking paper. Some recipes call for dried breadcrumbs, that might help. Other recipes call for grated zuchinni, this does not help.

The uncooked rolls can be frozen, and the cooked ones are quite nice cold.

Also, for many years I have harboured the secret desire to put this up in the maths learning centre :)
