Emma Homemade Delicious Scottish beef sausage rolls
Did you know that beef sausage is the meat used inside a Scottish sausage roll and that pork sausage is traditionally an English ingredient? I hadn’t noticed this until a few years ago when I was a judge at The World Championship Scotch Pie Awards when it was brought to my attention. I mean a sausage roll is a sausage roll isn’t it (the right answer seemingly is no!) So here’s a recipe for a Scottish Beef Sausage Roll, we also have a pork sausage roll recipe here.
These Scottish Beef Sausage Rolls freeze well and reheat easily as well.
Ingredients
One Pack puff pastry
500g Beef sausage meat
1 1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 beaten egg, to brush pastry
Instructions
In a bowl mix together seasoning, nutmeg and beef sausage meat. (Use your hands here it is best)
Roll out the puff pastry.
Roll out the pastry to 1cm thick and 34cm x 30cm.
Halve lengthways and place a strip of mince down the centre of each.
Brush the edges with beaten egg, roll up and seal.
Cut the sausage rolls into whatever size you want.
Place on a lined edged baking tray (This catches any rogue juices)
Pierce each sausage roll with a fork and brush with a little beaten egg white.
Bake sausage rolls in preheated 200ºC/Gas 6 oven until golden brown.

I would like to make this recipe but I need a little help. In US we have ground beef which in Uk is ground mince, but how does mince differ from beef sausage meat?
Hoping you can clarify.
Thank you, Anne
Hello Anne, Thanks for your message. Mince differs in that it is unseasoned and not flavoured with anything. Sausage meat is finely minced ground meat usually with breadcrumbs, seasoning and herbs. I think the nearest in the US is breakfast sausage meat. Hope this helps x
