BUTTERY, CRUMBLY, MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH


I do enjoy a good sausage roll once in a while.  Sure they lack the sophistication of French pastries but something about these rustic sausage rolls always manage to evoke the widest smiles. I’ve brought them to the office, picnics and housewarming parties and they are a big hit every time.

French butter and Atlantic sea salt play a big part in making the shortcrust pastry oooh so crumbly and super addictive. And frankly, who can resist sausages from the Pan Pacific Hotel deli?
