SURPRISE A DESERVING MUM WITH THESE YUMMY HOMEMADE TREATS

Sausage Danish

MAKES 10

Not every mum likes a sweet start to the day, so these savoury pastries are the perfect solution.

400g coarse ground

pork sausages

2 tsp fennel seeds

½ tsp sea salt and decent

grind of black pepper

Plain flour, for dusting

1 roll all- butter flaky

pastry (I use Paneton)

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 Preheat oven to 200°C.

Line a tray with baking paper.

2 Squeeze the sausage meat from the casings into a bowl. Mix well with the fennel seeds and seasonings.

3 Dust the bench with flour and roll the pastry out to 30cm x 20cm.

4 Spread the sausage out over the pastry, leaving a 3cm border. Brush the border with beaten egg.

5 Roll one short side snugly into the centre line, brushing with beaten egg as you go. Repeat with the other side. Chill for 15 minutes.

6 Cut into 10 even slices, about 3cm thick.

7 Place on a lined tray, brush with the remaining egg wash and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffed up. Try to resist eating them before they’ve cooled enough to not burn your mouth!
