This is a recipe for traditional herby sausage rolls – but any seasoning can be used such as premium pork seasoning or if you like to be adventurous – pork horseradish and caramelised onion.

Ingredients:

• 800g pork or beef mince
• 25g Tongmaster Lincolnshire sausage roll seasoning
• 75g rusk
• 100ml water
• 700g puff pastry
• 1 egg - beaten

Method:

1. Add meat, seasoning and rusk to a bowl and mix thoroughly - if using a complete sausage mix (which already contains rusk) rather than separate seasoning and rusk, add 100g.
2. Add cold water to combine ingredients together and mince again (optional) or give the mixture a good knead to assure the seasoning is evenly spread.
3. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut in half so you have two long strips. Divide the sausage mix in two and mould the meat along the middle of the pastry strips, in a somewhat cylindrical shape.
4. Brush the border of the pastry with egg before pressing down and crimping with a fork, cut the sausage rolls to a length that suits before chilling for at least 20 minutes or until ready to bake. If you are freezing sausage rolls, now is the time to freeze them.
5. Preheat an oven to 200°C /180°C/Gas 6, brush the sausage rolls with the remaining egg and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. If cooking form frozen add 10 minutes to the cooking time.
