Mum's Famous Sausage Rolls | A Family Tradition

Hey everyone! Today, I have something truly special to share with you all. My mum is a wonderful cook, and her famous sausage rolls have become a beloved recipe in our family. They're so delicious that her recipe was even published in a cookbook a few years ago!

Sausage rolls are so iconic in Australia. You'll find them in every pie warmer, in every Service Station, in numerous cafe's. However, after some research, I discovered that Americans don't really know what a Sausage Roll is. Hence, the title in my thumbnail. And you really are missing out, if you have never tried these, they are so delicious. Let me know if you are American and do know what a Sausage Roll is.

I'm excited to pass on this simple, affordable, and really tasty recipe to you today. These sausage rolls are loved by people of all ages, and I can't wait for you to try them.

They are very easy and quick to make; and don't cost much at all.

Everyone that tries them requests the recipe. Don't be fooled by the simple list of ingredients, they taste great. If you like, you can add your favourite spices or herbs, but this is the way my family have been enjoying them for decades.
