Anna'S Sausage Rolls
Enjoy flaky, savory sausage rolls with a tender, buttery crust, perfect as a snack or appetizer for gatherings and casual meals alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the self-rising flour, buttermilk, and softened butter to form a dough.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface.
- Place the ground sausage evenly over the dough.
- Roll up the dough with the sausage inside.
- Cut the rolled dough into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
- Bake at 450°F until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier texture, consider chilling the butter before mixing it into the dough. You can substitute the ground sausage with turkey sausage for a lighter option or even a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian version. If you don’t have buttermilk, mix regular milk with a tablespoon of vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes to create a similar acidity.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these sausage rolls warm as a delightful snack or appetizer. They pair wonderfully with a tangy mustard or a homemade dipping sauce. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables. They also complement well with recipes like Oktoberfest Pockets for a hearty gathering.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the sausage rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This method helps maintain their crispiness, making them enjoyable even after a day or two.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. When you're ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling it out to ensure it’s easier to work with.
What can I use instead of self-rising flour?
If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This substitution will work well in this recipe without compromising texture or taste.
Can I freeze the sausage rolls?
Absolutely! You can freeze the rolled and cut sausage rolls before baking. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time to ensure they cook through properly.
