I don’t enjoy making these, yes I know I can buy them!

Never seem to get them the right shape.

This thought occurred to me in the night, could I just make them in mince pie type baking tins? They would be round of course, but would probably have as much sausage meat in them as the usual type.

Is it a daft idea?

Made sausage rolls this morning. I say sausage rolls, but they were actually slices as I cut the pastry into uneven lengths. I took them to my daughter's this afternoon along with a sherry biscuit log.
Both were enjoyed by our grandchildren.

Using mince pie baking tins for sausage rolls is a clever idea. They'll turn out round, but the taste should be just as delicious.

I always use well flavoured sausages such as red onion or apple and herbs or Cumberland (use scissors to nick the skin to remove it easily)
One 500g pack is perfect for one ready rolled Jus-Rol puff pastry and using the baking sheet provided can be done with no mess whatsoever (useful for me #messycook)
Egg to glaze then sprinkle with mixed herbs or coarsely ground black.pepper.
I often leave them the length of each sausage as a light lunch or alternatively snip them with scissors to make tiny ones.

My friend sprinkles hers with fenugreek seeds before baking, very tasty.
