  3. Preheat the oven to 200C/390F/gas mark 6.
  4. Roll the pastry on a floured work surface pastry then with a piping bag squeeze the meat mixture into a long sausage and roll the pastry over – seal with egg wash. Cut to sausage rolls into 10cm lengths
  5. Place the sausage rolls onto a tray lined with non-stick paper and slash the top of each roll with a sharp knife several times. Pop into oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown
