Do you need breadcrumbs in sausage rolls?

You don't technically need the breadcrumbs (or cornflake crumbs in this case), but the act as a binding agent and they stretch the sausage a little further, giving you more filling.

How long do homemade sausage rolls last?

Cooked them will last in fridge for 3 - 5 days. If you're serving leftovers or making them ahead of time, I recommend reheating them in the oven to get the best results.

How do you keep sausage rolls crispy?

Make sure you're baking the sausage roll until they're brown and crispy, and don't over do the egg wash. Don't tent with foil to keep them warm once they're cooked either, that will lead to condensation and increase the chances of them getting soggy.

What can I use if I don't have egg wash?

If you don't want to use egg wash, or if you don't have enough eggs, you can substitute oil or you milk of choice.

Can I cook sausage rolls the day before a party?

You have two options for making them ahead of time. Either assemble them the day before and cook them the day you're serving, or cook them completely and reheat in the oven.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open puff pastry sheets and cut in half lengthwise.
In a large bowl, mix the sausage, cornflake crumbs, minced onion, garlic powder, all spice and 1 egg together.
In a separate bowl, make an egg wash by whisking the remaining egg with a few tablespoons of water.
Create a thin line of sausage down the center of each puff pastry half-sheet.
Brush one side with egg wash and roll the pastry around the sausage, letting the egg wash act as a seal.
Cut each roll into 6 equal sections and place on baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg wash.
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. They should be golden brown on the top and the sausage mixture should be fully cooked.
