Sausage Plait

This recipe is a little bit more interesting than just using your sausagemeat to make traditional sausage rolls. Full instructions below showing you how simple it is to make the sausage plait, cutting the pastry and folding it lattice style.

The recipe could be adapted to use a vegetarian or vegan substitute for the sausage meat.

And as an easy accompaniment, I decided to try a variant on cheesy potatoes using yoghurt. You’ll need to get this into the oven first, as always best to check how long a recipe takes to cook and this is about 10-15 minutes longer than the sausage platt.

The sausage meat plat was very popular but mixed reactions to the potatoes. Two of us liked it and two weren’t so convinced.
