You only need there ingredients for theses sausage rolls (Image: Angela Patrone/EXPRESS)
I wanted to keep it simple with this and as easy as possible so I opted for shop-bought puff pastry.
Ingredients
400g (six) sausages – any flavour can be used
320g ready rolled puff pastry
One egg, beaten
Method
I started by unrolling the pastry and cutting it in half lengthways so I had two long and thick strips.
The next step was to remove the casings from the sausages and line three along the centre of each strip of pastry. I squeezed them slightly so they filled the length of the pastry.

I then brushed one of the long edges of the pastry with some of the beaten egg, rolled the long side of the pastry closest to me tightly under the sausage and then kept rolling so the sealed edge was on the bottom.
After, I cut the sausage rolls into small lengths – this can be done as big or small as you like.
Using a knife, I made two indents on the top of each piece to allow steam to escape when cooking.

I then sprayed the air fryer basket with oil to avoid the sausage rolls from sticking and placed them in making sure they didn’t touch one another. I needed to cook the sausage rolls in batches to ensure this was the case.
Before leaving the sausage rolls to cook, I brushed all of them with some more of the egg wash to ensure they had that golden crispy top.
