Easy Sausage and Stuffing Whirls




Christmas may be over, but there are only a few days left until New Year's Eve, and quick party food ideas are a must! Embracing all things 70s (and my love for cinnamon whirls) I decided to over-haul a party favourite - the sausage roll.

The humble sausage roll is much loved, but seeing as I was planning to use cheats puff pastry, (ready made) I felt these need a little extra to make them special - STUFFING! The great thing about these is that you can mix and match the sausage and stuffing flavours :)

Ingredients

1 block chilled jus roll puff pastry (500g)
400g sausage meat - you can use sausages, just split the casing and squeeze out the meat
Half a pack of 170g sage and onion stuffing
Milk to glaze
Salt and Pepper
Flour for rolling

Method

Remove the puff pastry from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature (about 20 minutes)

Make up the stuffing according to the directions (remember to halve the amount of water if only using half the pack)

On a floured surface, roll out the pastry to the thickness of a pound coin. Try and keep the pastry in an even rectangular shape.

Squeeze out the sausage meat and spread it across the pastry (right to the edges) until even.  Repeat with the stuffing.

Sprinkle salt and pepper across the stuffing/sausage meat.

Starting with one of the longer edges, tightly roll the pastry so it looks like a Swiss roll. Seal the edge with milk.

Tightly wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for 30 minutes

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees (fan) 220 degrees

Whilst the oven is preheating, take the sausage wrap from the fridge and remove the clingfilm.  Cut the wrap in half, and then keep cutting the sections in half until you end up with individual pieces about 3cms thick.

Place on a well oiled baking tray (or tray with baking paper) ensuring there is a gap between each whirl as they will spread out when baking.

Brush all areas with a milk glaze and sprinkle on a dash of sea salt and cracked black pepper

Cook in the oven for about 25 minutes - make sure you keep an eye on them as they will catch quickly.

They may need to be rotated during cooking, and could take longer or shorter, depending on individual ovens.

Once the pastry has turned a golden brown, and is cooked throughout, remove and leave to cool slightly (about 5 minutes)

Using a fish slice, carefully remove the individual whirls and place on a wire rack to cool (and prevent a soggy bottom).

These can be eaten either cold (from the fridge) or re-heated on a medium heat for about 7 minutes - take care to ensure these are hot throughout before eating (if re-heating)

Enjoy!

Replacement Blades for the Silhouette Cameo - UK users

From the moment I purchased my Silhouette Cameo I was in love.  The only way I could justify the cost was to start up a business , the only problem with this was the cost of the blades.  I was getting through a blade every few weeks, at just under £16.00 (including postage) for a single blade it was getting very expensive.  I knew that once business picked up I was going to either have to increase prices (never a good idea for new businesses) or take a big knock in profits.  The only solution I could see was be to try and find a cheaper solution to the blades. I was first made aware of using disposable blades by Ligaya's Creativity Zone .  She had had success with an aluminium (CB09) Blade Holder.  This blog was invaluable for advice on the different angled blades available and suppliers of the CB09 Blade Holder. The only drawbacks were the seller was based in Asia (have been stung for import taxes before, and it is a hefty amount) and there were re...

Glitter Wine Glasses and Mugs DIY - Dishwasher safe too! UK

So I made a vow this year to do more crafts that were for me, rather than geared towards selling in the shop.  When I cam across this picture on pinterest, my heart literally swooned <3 courtesy of whitehouseblackshutters blog It is pointless, something only a gal would understand, but I needed one! The blog mentions that in order to make the glitter mug dishwasher safe, you need to use Martha Stewart Decoupage glue - what followed was an epic weekend long search to find a supplier in the UK I was frustrated beyond belief, and about to bite the bullet and import it from the US (to hell with the import tax, I NEEDED it!) when I stumbled across a site called emerald crafts  and they had one bottle left in stock.  It was mine! So once it arrived, I gathered up all my supplies and set to work! Rubbing Alcohol / Surgical Spirit Mug Masking Tape Brush Glitter Rub down your mug with the surgical spirit and make sure it is dry before ap...

Superdrug Colour Rewind - Hair Dye Remover Review - Part One

I started dying my hair at the grand old age of 15 - fast forward to 12 years later and my hair has become a dried out mop of horror.  I started with black - I loved Marilyn Manson and Slipknot and needed the world to view my hair as an extension of my sheer awesomeness!  This phase lasted until I was about 19; almost 4 years of the darkest of darks layered over my hair. I alternated between black, black-blue, black-purple and even tried dip dyed black and red.  At 19 I wanted a change and decide to bleach it so I could dye it red - after an initial day of ginger (luckily I was favouring the sporty baseball cap in this period) I switched to a dark red.  Next came a few years of alternating between different shades of red and then various browns. When we started trying for a baby in 2010 I was worried that the constant dying of my hair whilst pregnant could cause development issues - I went to a professional hair dresser and had blonde highlights put through ...
