Mark each sausage into four with flat side of a knife. Don't cut through as filling doesn't set til cooked. Brush tops with milk. Cook in a moderately hot oven til brown and crispy.

A total winner, what a hidden gem to find!!! You are right when you say that if one doesn't know they don't contain meat, you wouldn't know! I made these as directed, my only 'change' was to throw in about 1/3 cup of fresh herbs from the garden, I picked a selection of chives, sage and a little rocket, chopped them finely and added to the processed mixture. These are honestly among the best 'sausage' rolls I have made, I froze half but can see I will need to take them out already, the first batch are gone! My vegetarian cousin is coming for a holiday, these are not only going to be great for picnics on our outings, but I know that she - a chef - will be taking this recipe home with her to Scotland! Thanks for a marvellous recipe, Sally, made for PAC Fall 2009

Need some added garlic, spices and herbs to taste, but otherwise a delicious and easy recipe.

I have a new favorite recipe! This is soooooo good! With a food processor it goes together fast and the taste is outstanding. A star in its own right without having to try to apologize for not being meat. I don't know if I did it right, but I cut the puff pastry sheets in half the long way (made four) and basically folded them in half over the filling and pinched them closed. I served them on a tray and cut them to size at the table. They baked up perfectly and were a huge hit with everyone!

Tasty! I made my own puff pastry using Quick and Easy Puff Pastry or Bladerdeeg #31504, which turned out a little dry and not cripsy enough for my tastes. Granted, this chronic over-baker didn't have a box to tell her how long to bake! Next time I do plan to make in bulk! Maybe for the holidays...with a touch of herbs too.

Absolutely delicious! They didn't come out too pretty, but they tasted fantastic! And meat was never missed! Will definitely make these again. Thnx for sharing your recipe, Sally. Made for PAC Fall 2009.
