I'm a good cook, but I'm not great at baking. And I'm lousy at pastry.

however, inspired by this recipe which claimed to be "easy flaky pastry", I thought I'd give it a go.

I had to get [livejournal.com profile] perlmonger to come and grate for a while - it was hard work. But *I* rolled out the pastry, and rolled out the sausage meat, and brushed it all with eggy stuff, and put it in the oven, and baked them. And they were *gorgeous*.

the sage plant in the garden had died, so I made do with some rosemary, and a hefty grating of nutmeg.

go me, I think. And we only ate three - the rest have gone in the freezer.

Oooh they look yummy. And now I feel all inferior for not having made my own puff pastry ;)

hah! this was actually really easy to do, even though it was hard work physically for a pair of old badgers, and the results were spectacular.

Oh, those look delish! For "sausagemeat," would one obtain English sausages and remove the meat from the casings?
