Notes

  1. Use any sausages you can get or you like – Irish, Spanish, Italian,… You will need between 11 to 14 ounces (300-400 grams) of sausage meat.
  2. I used fresh puff pastry, but you can use frozen (thawed) if you prefer. Make sure to roll it out thin - about 1/8-inch (4-millimeters), if not using ready-rolled one.
  3. Poppy seeds are completely optional. Sesame seeds can be used instead as well.
  4. The quantity of mini sausage rolls will depend on their size.
