Sausage Rolls

[nikki-uk]

Here's my recipe for sausage rolls (see avatar!)

N.B The measurements are all U.K

Ingredients :

200g (8oz) Gluten Free Flour

1 teaspoon xantham gum

50g (2oz) hard margarine

50g (2oz) lard

1 medium egg, beaten

Cold water to mix

One pack of gluten-free sausages

Half an onion

1/4 gluten-free loaf (breadcrumbs)

Method for pastry

Place gluten-free flour in a bowl, cut fats into small pieces using a knife and add them to the flour

(N.B It's important to keep the fats as cold and hard as possible - I put the required amount in the freezer for around 10 mins before mixing)

Rub the fats into flour until mixture resmbles course breadcrumbs

Lightly stir in egg and gradually add some cold water so you get a soft but not sticky dough

When dough starts to clean the bottom of the bowl enough water has been added

Lightly dust your surface with gluten-free flour and knead the dough for around 1-2 mins

Roll out your pastry but do not turn it over

Sausagemeat

I couldn't actually find any gluten-free sausagemeat so I bought a pack of gluten-free sausages and squeezed out the meat!

Add half a chopped onion and about 1/4 gluten-free loaf (breadcrumbs)

Cut the pastry into an oblong shape.

Put mixed sausagemeat along bottom edge and fold over pastry.Brush pastry with beaten egg and cut into bite size pieces.

Cook at 190 celsius/350 farenheit/Gas Mark 5 for about 15-20 mins

Yum!!

Thanks Nikki (and Angie)

Look really really good.

I buy a turkey breakfast sausage by Diestel (frozen tube) that would work well with that.

Can any of you cooking wizards suggest the best way to replace that egg (besides egg replacer by EnerG, which has corn, which I can't have).

From www.pioneerthinking.com/eggsub.html

What is a good substitute for eggs?

Ener-G Egg Replacer - follow directions on box.

2 tbsp corn starch = 1 egg

2 tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg

2 tbsp potato starch = 1 egg

1 heaping tbsp soy powder + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg

1 tbsp soy milk powder + 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg.

1 banana = 1 egg in cakes.

Homemade egg substitute recipe

Homemade egg substitutes are less expensive and just as satisfactory. They also have few calories. Here's a low cholesterol egg substitute recipe:

1 tablespoon of nonfat dry milk powder

2 egg whites from large eggs

4 drops of yellow food color

Sprinkle powdered milk over egg whites, then beat them with fork until smooth. Add food color, and beat until blended. This makes 1/4 cup, which is equal to 1 large egg. If you use this homemade substitute for scrambled eggs, cook it in vegetable oil or margarine so the eggs won't be too dry.

I bet these would be good adding some spices & green pepper... How much bread crumbs would you use? I have gluten-free bread crumbs from Gillian's .Oh yea,

tomato sauce would give it another flavor.

I made every cookie you made plus a few others... I'm trying my luck at nut & poppy seed rolls right now..... I have a good tiny choc.chip cupcake recipe if anyone wants it..

Thanks so much, I heard of sausage rolls from my daughter's favorite tv show "Charlie and Lola". I think she would love eating them knowing that her favorie tv characters like them also, lol

Nikki or Angie (or anyone else reading this who might know),

Do you think that I could prepare this the night before and then cut it in the morning and bake for breakfast? I'm trying to find something that isn't egg-based for a good Christmas breakfast. I want a change from sausage, turkey bacon, waffles, fruit and hot cider and this sounds good. TIA

I would just add breadcrumbs until the texture felt right. I'll bet this would be really good with Gillian's Italian breadcrumbs. Yum. I haven't tried them yet, but all of Gillians stuff I've tried has been great. When I make these (I got the sausage meat yesterday) I'm going to add garlic, black pepper, and onions. I might add green peppers to half of them. If you do tomato, you might want to try to find tomato powder rather than tomato sauce. I think the sauce might make them soggy. Maybe I'm wrong. Tomato powder would definitely be good.

How did you like the cookies?

Sounds nice !! I sometimes add a tablespoon of sage into the sausage mix

Well I don't see why not - and if you prepare the night before it will only take 15-20 mins to cook in the morning

Just wanted to say that I made the sausage rolls for Christmas morning breakfast and they were absolutely delicious! I didn't have a chance to make it ahead, but it wasn't too hard to whip up in the morning. It baked while we opened gifts. It's our new family favorite!
