Scottish Sausage Crescents Recipes

SAUSAGE CREAM CHEESE CRESCENTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Scramble the sausage and crumble VERY well. Drain and rinse under running water to get rid of any excess grease. Wipe any grease out of the skillet and replace sausage on heat.
• Add in cream cheese and any other ingredients you might like. Stir over low heat until cream cheese is melted and the whole mixture is blended well.
• Unroll the crescents into triangles and place a small amount of filling in the center of the longest end. Roll, pinching the edges to seal in the filling and place on a lightly sprayed baking sheet.
• Bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minute Watch carefully, so they don't burn.

HOMEMADE SCOTTISH SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the salt with all the spices and breadcrumbs. Add the ground beef, and about 1/2 cup of water. Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until it has a meatloaf texture, adding water as needed. The sausage should hold together when squeezed, without being too wet.
• Place the puff pastry on a clean counter, mat or board. Cut into rectangular(ish) pieces, they don't need to be exact, depending on the size of the rolls you want to make; from cocktail size to "man" size. Alternatively, you can make a long roll and then cut them into the size you desire.
• Shape some meat into logs, and place close to one end of the pastry, but don't put too much meat or they will burst open when baking.
• With your finger, lightly dampen one of the edges with a little water, seal shut, then crimp with a fork, as shown.
• Place on a lined (Silpat, aluminum foil or parchment) edged baking tray, make three or four small cuts in the top of the pastry, and brush with a little beaten egg white.
• Bake sausage rolls in preheated 400º F oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve with brown sauce (HP Sauce is my preference).

• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and separate the crescent rolls into 4 rectangles.
