Firecracker Sausage Rolls; sweet chilli glazed spicy sausage meat wrapped in flaky buttery pastry, these are a deliciously warming savoury snack!

 

Is there any British snack better than the sausage roll?

Well, except THESE maybe…

Flaky pastry with a savoury meat filling, they come in many forms, and many great ones at that.

Sausage rolls always remind me of this time of year, when it’s cold outside and you’re looking forward to taking those piping hot pastries out of the oven at some late hour, to be shared and devoured.

These were initially a test run for a Christmas time bake, but they were too well received not to share! As it’s Guy Fawkes’ Night here in the UK, I thought I’d make these firecracker sausage rolls, with a little heat and attitude, to reflect all the colourful explosions we’ll see in the sky tonight.

Sweet chilli glazed spicy sausage meat, rich with soy and garlic, wrapped in crisp buttery flaky pastry. These are something I’m afraid I simply can’t allow you to resist. My folks had these fresh out of the oven with some salad and chips for lunch today, but they would also make a perfect hot or cold snack. Obviously if you’re not into spice, you can reduce the amount of chilli in the recipe or omit it altogether for a more traditional sausage roll.

Can you think of anything tastier to munch on while watching the fireworks? Or as a lazy Sunday morning bake tomorrow? I doubt it.

I usually make these Firecracker Sausage Rolls using shop-bought puff pastry. This is purely to save time (and energy). However, if you want to make your own, check out the pastry used in my Toffee Apple Turnovers.

Enjoy these firecracker sausage rolls as a tasty snack or lunch this weekend or any time of year!

  1. I make my own variations of sausage rolls & take them down to our local pub for our friends to share. My cheese & Chorizo go down extremely well & today I made some lamb & mint sauce ones. OMG, they went down amazingly…to my surprise. Going to have to make some cheese & sweet chilli ones next me thinks lol.

    1. They all sound delicious!

  2. Wow! These look good, I’ve never thought in using sweet chilli sauce with them. In the past the ones I’ve made I’ve sprinkled poppy seeds on the top to make them look a bit posher 🙂

      Thank you! Foodstory in Aberdeen used to do great giant sausage rolls with chilli sauce in them so I thought I’d try it myself. Poppy seeds sound nice too, I need to work on making mine a little more posh haha!
