A delightful twist on classic sausage rolls, these bites combine savory pork with the sweetness of cranberries, wrapped in flaky puff pastry.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, cranberry sauce, egg, Worcestershire sauce, sage, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make it tough.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each into two equal halves.
Keep the pastry cold to make it easier to work with.
Place a portion of the filling along the center of each pastry strip and roll the pastry over to enclose the filling, seam-side down.
Use a little water to seal the edges of the pastry if needed.
Cut each roll into smaller pieces and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Ensure there is space between the rolls on the tray for even cooking.
Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with fennel seeds.
This step adds a beautiful golden color and extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious pastry bites.
Pair with a tangy dipping sauce for an extra flavor boost.
