Sausage rolls are one of Britain's favourite snacks and are a staple at any Christmas party or gathering in the wintertime. However, many people may not realise you do not have to spend money on frozen party treats as you can make tastier sausage rolls with just four simple ingredients. Becky Excell, a cookbook author and founder of Gluten Free Cuppa Tea , has shared that the secret to baking sausage rolls is to ditch the oven and cook them in an air fryer.
She said: “They come out even better than in the oven as the dry environment of the air fryer ensures there’s no soggy pastry! Best of all, you can easily make this in just 30 minutes.” Not only does the air fryer make the pastry crispier, and therefore more delicious, but the heat being evenly distributed allows all the sausage meat to cook at the same time so there’s no chance of an undercooked centre. How to make perfect sausage rolls in the air fryer 280g of puff pastry 400g of sausages Three tablespoons of wholegrain mustard One egg (beaten) This recipe is made with gluten-free sausages and gluten-free Jus-Rol pastry, which is also dairy-free.
What is great about this savoury snack is that you can easily change out the ingredients for whatever you wish, and could make the meat vegetarian or vegan if you prefer. However, if you make these sausage rolls meat-free then Becky recommends seasoning them with paprika, cumin and a little salt and pepper. To begin, take the pastry out of the fridge and leave it to rest.
