👨🍳 How To Make Mary Berry’s Sausage Rolls (Step-by-Step)
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix the sausage meat, onion, herbs, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir well until everything is combined.
3. Roll Out the Pastry
Lightly dust your surface with flour. Roll out the pastry into a rectangle, about 3 mm thick. Cut it lengthwise into two long strips.

Brush the edge of the pastry with beaten egg. Fold the pastry over the meat and press the edge to seal. Cut each long roll into smaller pieces (6 per strip = 12 total).
