Piggies in blankets

I use vegetarian sausages, but you can use good quality sausages from a butchers. These are healthier alternatives to traditional sausage rolls.

Ingredients:
40g of unsalted butter
225g of self raising flour
50g sundried tomatoes
25g chopped fresh parsley
75g grated Cheddar Cheese
12 vegetarian or quality pork sausages
150ml milk
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
pinch of salt
Preparation Time: 10 mins

Cooking Time: 10 mins

Serves: 20 children

Steps

  1. Heat some olive oil in a frying pan and cook the sausages, drain on kitchen paper and allow to cool.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200oc / gas mark 6
  3. Greese a baking sheet.
  4. Sift the flour, salt, baking powder into a large bowl.
  5. Rub in the butter with your finger tips ( or use a food processor) until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
  6. Stir into the mixture the sundried tomatoes, parsley, and cheese.
  7. Make a well in the middle of the mixture and add enough milk to make a soft dough.
  8. Roll into a square on a lightly floured surface until about 6mm thick. Cut into 20 squares.
  9. Wrap each sausage into a square of dough, then use a little milk to stick down the edge.
  10. Place them on the baking sheet, and brush the tops with a little beaten egg.
  11. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until they have risen and are golden brown.
