- "Little parcels of picnic perfection. Comfort food at it’s finest. Served hot or cold. This delicious retro comfort food snack has earned its place in British culinary history."
Although the sausage roll didn’t originate in the UK - the original recipes date back to Roman times and is the favorite go to snack of the Brits. 140 million sausage rolls are sold each year in the uk. In this video I share the authentic recipe and explain the difference between sausage rolls and pigs in blankets.
A delicious easy to make snack or canapé that your family and friends will want you baking again and again.

The first night we were in England we stayed in Lavenham in a cozy little cottage. We had been traveling for about 20 hours and were exhausted. My family passed out, but I went to the local shop and bought a bottle of Rose wine and a package of sausage rolls, went back to the cottage and enjoyed every moment of the evening with my feet up, wine and rolls. Going to make these for Easter appetizers :))
When I was a broke student in London, a Greggs sausage roll was one of my favourite things to eat. Great vid chef!
Can relate, I did the same. It's a shame that Greggs is now basically a cheap coffee shop, they used to do such a great variety of fresh made sandwiches, breads and treats. I'm always a little disappointed by their selection these days. Their sausage rolls are still great though!
I like them because they’re nice & salty!
Rfffff you for free
i loved the large sausage rolls my school made in the late 90s served hot for 50p ! oddly they had a citrus taste to them which i actually loved
"How long to they last?" "I don't know, an hour? Everyone's eaten them". I lost it. Love that part.
Kitchen hack: Buying a large sandwich bag, filling it with whatever you want and cutting the corner off with a scissors works well as a piping bag. And plus you can use it as a sandwich bag for when you're not piping! (Make everything in your kitchen pull double-duty. Alton-sensei taught us no uni-task devices!)
I dislike that hack...every single time I need to use a zip lock to pipe anything it inevitably splits a seam or rips. I gave up and just bought good piping bags.
As a retired chef, one can never stop learning. When I do a batch of sausage rolls i add stuffing mix and they go down very well, (even by me)
Sounds good I need to try that!!!
@@janholly3961 Hi Jan, yes i mix the stuffing in hot water then when cool mix it in with the sausage meat, roll it out into a long sausage and then add it to the rolled out pastry, I use shortcrust pastry not a keen fan of puff pasry, (I get into such a mess when eating) lol Love your singing bye the way x
When we were children in Suffolk in the 1950s a winter entertainment was to go on a 'winter picnic' to the grey and pebbly coast. After exploring the beach and its breakwaters, we'd sit on the deck of a beach hut - often with a cold, blustery wind whipping around our ears - and tuck in to our picnic. The meal would include soup and sausage rolls cooked by our mother from scratch - using shortcrust pastry, IIRC - wrapped in foil and newspapers to keep it all hot.
Bonfire Night/Guy Fawkes was the other time for hot sausage rolls, along with soup and baked potatoes in their jackets, oozing with butter.
Something about the contrast between cold wintry weather and piping hot food, eaten in the open air, is so incredibly comforting and fun.
As an American with English parents, I grew up with sausage rolls and love them. I've watched probably a dozen videos on CZcams on making sausage rolls, and this is by far the best. It's also the first one where a piping bag was used, which seems like a great idea I never thought of before. Next time I make sausage rolls, I'm using this method. Thanks!
I didn't know of using a piping bag either.
But I can tell you, this 50% Welsh / American boy is definitely going to make his own "puff" pastry when he tries this recipe.
Thank you so much Chef,this video was very educative and nice
As a Canadian with British parents, I agree! Sausage rolls are the ultimate lunch, placed in an air fryer they’re absolutely delicious. Toss some mustard or hot sauce on top and you’re happy as a clam
Thanks for sharing. You are a great chef. I'm just going to make them today.
2:42, if u wanna go budget for seasonings ,the cheapest own brand sage and onion stuffing mix always works great as a filler+ seasoning ! also works great in burger mix
How much do you add?
That's a great tip, totally makes sense thank you
Back in the '70's (mid '70's) we would butcher around thanksgiving time(3rd week of nov.) making our own lard,sausage,and scrapple. Much in the way you talk of.On certain occasions we would sugar cure hams. These things are certainly a lost art here in America. We don't put pride in our food anymore and we should. Just as you pride yourself in cooking for the royal family,my people prided themselves in cooking and passing on the tradition of butchering and preparing meats and such for the winter. Simplicity is the key! love your vids!
I love the tip about scoring the pastry and doubling the sheets. I do a pork based mince and add apple, fennel seed and finely grated carrot.
Do you use whole fennel seed or do you grind them up?
@@nexussever i use them whole but sparingly
I love a Sausage Roll. Couldn't get Pork Shoulder so I picked 2 Loin Steaks and 2 Belly Strips. Tomorrow I am going to Hand Grind that through my Mothers old 1960's mincer. There is currently Wild Garlic in the Meadow behind the House and we have Parsley, Sage and Thyme in the Garden. I have bought the Pastry, but I am looking forward to making my own Sausage Meat. 🙏 looking forward to King Charles III Coronation. Long live the King!
We in the US have bacon wrapped shrimp called angels on horseback...funny how food passed back and forth is like a game of telephone
When I lived in the U.K. that was my favourite snack, I 💙💙💙💙💙then👍
I’m from Pennsylvania (Dutch area) and our pigs in a blankets are a sausage rice mixture wrapped and cooked in cabbage. So interesting to see how we all have a pigs in the blanket but they’re all different.
Also called "stuffed cabbage " or halupki (sp)?
That sounds like a wonderful gluten-free option!
My old mam would have been 100 this year had she still been alive - but her shortcrust sausage rolls live on . Christmas eve and newyear eve nosh ups wouldn't be the same without them . Tried different sausage meats over the year's but just plain meat with a little salt and pepper wins . The main request at her funeral from the relatives up north was to have her recipe sausage rolls on the buffet lol .
Just before putting the sausage meat down, I use a line of marmalade. It adds a really nice sweetness and flavour that compliments the sausage meat. Definitely need to make some more!
Sounds good with marmalade
Totally trying that!!
Mustard Pickle works well too.
Eww, i like my sausage rolls not messed about with.
This sounds great. Thank you, I will try it.
I just love you and your channel! A native Texan here who misses the delicious sausage rolls found in the UK. I just ordered your seasonings and can't wait to try making this. Texas is blessed to have you. Thank you for sharing this with us common folk. Xx
I love the idea of a Texan eating sausage rolls, haha, seems so funny to me. I, a Londoner, have made a few Kent Rollins cowboy recipes, so I guess it goes full circle 😂
@@adamford7808when I went to college in Oklahoma, all of the donut shops served sausage rolls but they were wrapped in a savory form of donut dough instead of puff pastry
Gimme a T for Texas!
Love from Manchester UK
Same here! Texas born and raised… my grandmother was from England though so I grew up eating these. My favorite!
@@terranceramirez4816those are called Kolaches or “pigs in a blanket” if I’m not mistaken. All the donut shops here in Texas have them. I’m sure Oklahoma is the same with that as it isn’t too far away.
I’ve never seen any kolaches with ground meat like this though so maybe they have a different name.
Pork mince and black pudding, that's all that's needed, nothing else 😉😉
I love how one of your mottos is that you should always make it your way. You give advice and tips then say that you should experiment. Like with the seasoning in this video. That is the best thing about your tutorials as they are much more casual and friendly hehe !
Never trust a skinny chef. Darren has our absolute total full trust. Best recipes. Great instruction. WONDERFUL. Thank you.
This is the best sausage roll recipe I’ve ever seen…not daunting…im married an aussie and always say sausage roll made at home is the best…so i learnt through this and its the best…i put garlic sweet paprika oregano n basil salt n black pepper( coz i cant buy your seasoning) and to tell you honestly chef… it was gone in seconds… now this will be added to my own recipe..thanks heaps chef!!!
I've never doubled the pastry, I'm going to have to try that. I also put sharp cheddar in them, that's delicious too. Thanks for sharing 🙂👍
oooooooh!!! Thank you for that tip, will have to try that, next time!
I'm subscribing because you didn't try to force us to make our own puff pastry. I'm American and have never had a sausage roll before but this looks delicious. I'm going to try it.
Because others are forcing you to?
I'm with you. Life's too short...
Milkywhite enjoy our sausage rolls 😁
@@chucky2316 I tried it with frozen puff pastry and found it tasteless, made a homemade puff pastry, same result. Finally, I did these with a real croissant dough and they were absolutely phenomenal. I've realized that puff pastry is bland and gross.
@@MilkyWhite1 you enjoyed a British snack that is the main thing.😁 Love a sausage roll fresh from the bakery in the morning as the day wears on they get a bit hard and crispy.
Uk, Yorkshire based here - I was brought up on homemade sausage rolls (my Mum learned to make them at school in the ‘60s) and she always makes them with her own shortcrust pastry. So I always make shortcrust sausage rolls too - delicious :)
I lived in the UK for many years.I make mini- sausage rolls every Christmas morning for my family served with Dijon mustard for dipping and mimosas while opening gifts and they r all gone before I can even make the next batch to put in the oven! Never any leftovers.One year I thought everyone was sick of them and I didn't make them! They complained for a year about it! Especially all the kids,who were now adults. We are big on Christmas traditions.I use Pepperidge Farm puff pastry sheets but I use while still cool to get max puff.I also use egg wash.I cheat and use a variety of pre-cooked frozen sausage (if I made them more often than once a year I wld make sausage filling like you do).Mine do not look as precise as yours but they always taste good.Thanks Darren.
Darren, you bring back the warm fuzzies with this one. My dad would make these a wee bit smaller for Hogmanay including the ruff puff pastry, but, not the sausage filling. He would make enough that he could freeze some for us later for Burn’s Night even though we always had the traditional haggis after we had been to Scotland. He has been gone the last few years and prior to that his health wasn’t the best so it has probably been 10/15 years since the homemade sausage rolls. His trifle was to die for. I hope you and yours had a wonderful holiday season.
I agree with the pastry version, I have tried to make flaky pastry with limited success but it is not expensive to buy and it is always totally uniform in dimensions. I have been making sausage rolls for 30 years for my family, usually for sporting events or Christmas time. I like to add sage and nutmeg to my filling. Never added bacon but I will next time. I also add a little Panko bread crumbs and some Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar and brown sugar when I pre-cook the onions before mixing with the filling. To each their own but I always get smiles when they come out the oven and as you say, they are gone before they can be critiqued.Thanks for posting.
In Colorado, back in the 70's, we had as part of our school lunch, "pigs in a blanket". It was not more than American hotdogs wrapped in either tinned croissant dough or more often rolled out tinned biscuit dough. I want to try this vesion.
Your videos are fantastic! So easy to follow along and your stories are super entertaining and I always look forward to watching. Thanks for being a wonderful human being 😁
Excellent instructions. I'm making them now for a Christmas party.
Never would have thought to score them with a fork, such a perfect touch. Thank you for sharing your creativity. Merry Christmas!
In Australia a pig in a blanket is a sausage wrapped in a slice of white bread that you have all the same sorts of sauces and toppings on as a hot dog.
love your videos darren! great insights into history of the different foods you present
They look AMAZING! Love your videos and stories of your time at the palace!
Can't wait to make this! Thank you Darren.
Always easy to watch and follow. Thank you for sharing.
A current frozen pre made snack in the grocers is hot dog in a puff paestry. A weiner is not a sausage! Thank you again my good man for this easy recipe.
Made these tonight! I used a plant based sausage (Impossible ground sausage) with onion powder, paprika, garlic power, sage, salt, and pepper. They were fabulous!
How long did you cook them? I love the Impossible brand- the ground version makes a mean meatloaf.
Ooh they sound lovely
So……. You didn’t really make sausage rolls. Sausage by definition is made from meat. Vegans🙄
@@barryc9115 Well, first of all, don't be rude. Second, I am not vegan. Third, have a blessed day.
@@lindseystraley9596 I wasn’t being rude, I was being factual. Sausage by definition is meat
Outstanding, love the tutorials. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
I would get these at the British Emporium in Grapevine, Texas and loved them with a nice salad. Glad I have a recipe.
LOVE your cookbook!
They look wonderful! I’m going to make them! Thanks Darren!💓
This man is a treasure.
Those look excellent, I'll have to give them a try! Thanks Darren!
I love your videos and the stories. Your tips and encouraging people to make their own. Thank you for sharing Chef McGrady. Please keep the videos coming.
I'll take 6 of those right now, thank you ! My mouth was watering while watching you make them. They're really simple to make.
Just made them. Oh so good. Thank you for the recipe.
There was a bakery in Delaware called A Bit of Scotland (if memory serves me) that made the best sausage rolls. They were my favorite breakfast treat. Unfortunately, a fire in the store next door caused them to close and they never reopened. ☹️
I can't wait to try these! Easy ingredients, quick and oh! the CRUNCH! 💕
Thanks, will try
Always wonderful to watch Darren at work. So professional and a great teacher.
I had no idea how easy it was to score the pastry! You made a lovely design…I plan to make these…❤️
I love the fact that Darren is almost offended by the fact that sausage rolls are almost now vegetarian 😂😂😂
I know ! The clues in the name SAUSAGE ! Not plant based sausage 🤮
Thank goodness we can all make sure we have pure pork in the sausage rolls , nothing worse having that plant based crap that tastes like snot lol
Good lort, plant based or. It, if it tasted good then it tastes good!
I think he was suggesting that theres a lot of filler in shop bought sausage rolls rather than vegetarian ones. No need for people to get worked up.
He was offended by the amount of breadcrumb or filling added, not that you can get veggie ones, which are also delicious by the way.
I'm here in the northwest corner of the United States (near Seattle) and was eating a sausage roll fresh from the oven as I watched this video. Mine are beef rather than pork, and perhaps a bit spicier than usual in the UK, but other than that are true to the idea. *Thanks for a great video!*
Thank you for your wonderful recipes So easy to follow and your nice stories about the royals👍
Simple & Easy thank for sharing. I will Definitely Try Them
I miss those so much. I’m going to make these.
Thank you for the recipe , your instructions are very good , it looks very delicious . ❤️
Thank you Darren! Plan to make these for my family Christmas dinner! Love how motivating you are and welcome the ability to have fun with the recipe and try different seasonings/fillers based on other's personal tastes. The bacon especially was a great touch, definitely adding that to mine. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
We used to get sausage rolls at the Sidney Bakery on Vancouver Island on annual vacations when I was a kid. Never had one as good as they were.
Thank you, Chef! They look wonderful 😃
Chef Darren, you have read my mind! Will be attempting this.
This is going on the Christmas party list for real thanks Chef
Made some apple and chestnut sausage rolls for Christmas starters this year - when piping the meat onto the pastry, i used the back of a spoon to form a cavern and filled it with cranberry sauce xD Cranberry stuffed apple and chestnut sausage rolls :D also added all the seasonings with a little fresh chopped sage, was a real hit with the family
They look amazing definitely going to make these, great video Darren! Hope you're well!
One of my favorite little snacks. Never knew how to make them till now.
I always buy them.
Delicious!😋. Thank you Darren
great presentation
I normally saute the garlic with the onions, use manuka-smoked bacon, and pop in some Herbes de Provence, but I love the sound of your seasonings! I might have some dried juniper berries in the cupboard somewhere.....
Great tip on the pastry chef!
Thank you, this is a Christmas tradition in our family. I will try your recipe. Cheers
I would eat anything you made! Looks very good! Thank you so very much.
This is awesome and looks pretty easy!
Bravo! TYVM!
Always enjoyable to watch.
I sauté a sliced yellow onion in a little pork lard until caramelised, add a splash of balsamic vinegar, then allow it to cool. I then sauté a grated Granny Smith apple in a little butter, 1tsp sugar, and a splash of apple cider vinegar and reduce until soft, then cool. When I assemble the sausage roll, after laying down the pork mince mixture on the pastry I lay a little of the onion on one side of the sausage meat and a little of the apple on the other side before rolling up. MMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! 😋
Ah Darren! Those Sausage rolls look relally comforting and refreshing! I've not made a sausage roll homemade before, but have always got them from the local butchers (free range) and they are delicious! Considering this I might make my own sausage roll now teaching me that it's quite simple to make. Thanks for sharing these delicious but simple snacks!...
Love your videos. Been trying to show my son how English foods can be so good. He loves sausage so I know he'll love your sausage rolls. He also wants to get your seasoning. Thanks for making videos, they are such a treat!
I love your sausage rolls recipe!
I made some they were great thanks for the videos
Love sausage rolls. I make a shortcrust pastry to wrap around the filling. Thanks for the video.
Done this many times!
It’s a winner with all the family!
Good tip on the frozen puff pastry for the sos rolls. Thank you chef.
Delightful presentation and bet they taste delicious!
Really beautiful and looks delicious
my mouth is watering watching this. will have to make some!
Juniper is a fantastic idea.
looking forward to making it~
They look great!
Yum gonna make these with my home made sausage recipe.
Here in Australia they are made with beef and served with tomato or BBQ sauce, so yum!
It looks absolutely delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Thank you for a great video
Love his expression
I remember studying abroad in Glasgow, and every time I'd pass by a Greggs I'd spend a quid on a sausage roll, because why not.
I’m gonna make them, looks delicious 😋
My family loves pigs in a blanket. I do a quick version using canned biscuits and Little Smokies. Yours, of course, sounds much better.
My mom used to do that too sometimes she'll add cheese
Thank you, Darren!
I’d love to make those!!!
I accidentally happened upon your channel, and I am so glad I did. You are delightful - love you! I enjoyed your sausage pastry recipe. Thanks so much!
