here is a recipe for ruff puff - i took it from their website 175g unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes 350g plain flour A good pinch of salt About 3-4 tbsp iced water, to mix Egg wash (beaten egg mixed with a splash of milk), to glaze Fennel seeds and flaky sea salt, to finish

That reaction "oh my god, killa, killa sausage rolls" is so genuine you know this man means it.

This dude is awesome. No pretense no inventive nonsense. Just straight up traditional simple and flavorful.

The neatest & clearest puff pastry demo I've ever seen. Makes it so much less intimidating!

OMG, I just made these. And my first EVER attempt at this pastry was an amazing success. My husband was absolutely astounded - and delighted.

Lad clearly knows he's good! A confident chef is absolutely what you want! Those sausage rolls look unreal! I'll be making these at christmas! Keep up the good work!

I haven't bought a sausage roll since I started making my own.

That sausage roll would pair nicely with a refreshing Dare iced coffee.

He’s fantastic, just so straightforward!

Good God! Someone that can actually speak and cook and that has camera presence! I always thought that I was good at making dough but this is on another level. I'm going to try this, definetly. Well done!

I just came across this video by accident a week ago and ended up making this not once but twice already in 3 days! I have a cheat date every 6 days and these HIT THE SPOT! Thank you Chef Meller!

I'm English and those are the MOST delicious looking sausage rolls ever!!!!!!!!

Now I can finally serve sausage rolls to that idiot that keeps killing me for not having sausage rolls

Best sausage roll I have ever seen! Salivating! Thank you :)

Nice recipe I tried it and it worked really well I've been making sausage for a long long long time I'm 64 years old I had my own Deli and catering business and your recipe is very good and I definitely will use it again thank you

Your ruff puff pastry look so much simpler than what I learned at school. I have always been scared to try it, but I think I'll try yours. Sausage rolls are one of my favorite things to eat.

I've recently got into making my own sausage rolls and they are sooo much better than any bought fridge sausage rolls, worth the time so much!

Made this tonight and followed the recipe exactly. They were phenomenal! Thank you! We will definitely make them again!

The best rough puff technique I’ve ever seen. This is so accessible - I’m going to try it! Thank you for the great video.

this recipe for rough pastry is gold! Thank you River Cottage your channel is a gem!

I've made these several times - easier than you think. Taste amazing - never had sausage rolls like this. Truly worth the effort and after making them a few times, they can be knocked up quite quickly. Excellent recipe and presentation style.

Just made these for my grandsons birthday&OMG the family loved the recipe you showed on here.i wasn't sure about using fennel seed sprinkled on top so I done half & half .what a winner with both 👍🏻😀.. I just subscribed to your channel & love what l'm seeing..Happy cooking.

I made the sausage roll’s for Christmas Eve, and they could not be faulted. So, Big Thanks, from me, to Gill, for sharing this recipe, and his method in making these.

The best sausage roll I have ever seen made on KZfaq. Thanks so much for sharing. God bless you.

I just made the rough puff pastry from your demonstration and it came out great. I'm really knocked out! Thanks a lot

I think this guy will do well. No BS time wasting, straight to excellent recipes and delivered in a direct smooth manner. Subbed

Just made these today, found the recipe ingredients online, and it turned out so good. Thanks for the video!

Wow, Love the pork mix...I was able to use up a load of frozen leg of pork, as it had been trimmed of fat, added my own pork dripping! The pastry took me way back to my cookery (domestic science class, at school in the mid 50's) Thank you Gill .

Nice, great old school approach, will look out for your book

Bub games would love it 😍

An expatriot Yorkshireman in Canada, you make me long for home. Manly and expert: well done!

Hi Gill, have you ever tried to replace the water in the dough with soda water? It makes the dough even better! Thank you for the recipe, I loved it!

HI All, If some are frustrated with finding the recipe I went to the link and it was there. I'm looking forward to trying. Thanks Gill

He seems so genuine

Beautiful! I have all of those herbs growing in my garden.

The pastry alone is just amazing

rough puff - brilliant! why have I only found this now

Watching this on this cold evening in the Netherlands while having my pork and apple curry and drooling over the piping hot gorgeous sausage rolls out the oven!! Oh my word! Thank you so much! Am a subscriber!! 🥰🌷🌷

I love watching Gill cook, bake, he makes me want to bake. I have made these many times now and they go down a treat. F

Ohmygoodness that looks delicious. ..im tasting those and drooling....yummy...!!!!

Awesome! Gill makes these recipes very accessible, simple, and tasty looking!

Gill makes it look so easy. Will def need to give this a go - perfect snack whilst watching the footy

You are so freaking talented!!! I would love to have you as a neighbor. I live on Cape Cod in New England, and there are several houses that have wonderful people living here. One is a scalloper, one is an oysterman, one a lobsterman, and one a fisherman who catches flounder, cod, haddock, striped bass etc. One gal grows microgreens in a greenhouse for local restaurants. One owns a pie shop...where she sells both sweet and savory pies. One has a small farm and produces organic fruits and vegetables as well as organic free range eggs. Theres a fellow who owns a local food store and he brings butter, cream, spices, and things like cream of mushroom soup. He always brings a box or two of food for our pantry. Even the day old bread to make bread crumbs ! Sometimes he will bring 10 lbs of ground beef or pork. This is a tourist area where the population swells 20x or more for 8 to 12 weeks in the summer..The winter is just deadly quiet. In the winter, we meet on Wednesdays, to cook enough for everyone, then we share. Our local church has a massive commercial kitchen that we use. It is really a great social thing that we all do. We show up, and spend most of the day on Wednesdays together. Some might throw in the ovens a few dump cakes, or cobblers, made using the frozen berries gathered from the farm in the summer. Or, the kids might work on sugar cookies, and decorating them. There's always plenty of food, so after we all eat, then we make up some containers for each of us to take home, and we also make up some to drop by to some elderly neighbors. It gets us all out of the house in the Winter. Particularly when there is a huge snowfall. An Amish lady started this some 60 years ago. There's very few Amish people in the area here so it was wonderful for her to meet and befriend others. My grandmother was one of her closest friends. She rolled out her homemade pie crust until she was 95 years old. She canned jellie's, jams, and applesauce.She made incredible sticky rolls and breads. Anyway, this has been a long standing tradition here. I know my neighbors would go crazy trying to recruit you if you lived near us. Anyway, you absolutely rock !!!!

Tried this recipe. Best sausage rolls I've ever made😊

I've made this a couple of times now. The fennel seeds on top really make it.

Brilliant demonstration.

This is actually a insane quality video, 6 years old and it's fantastic!

Gill is a great face forward guy. The fact that he is clever like Hugh is a plus.

Thank you Gill, enjoyed Sept 2022 - still a winner.

What a great video. Easy to follow. 10/10! I going to try these today!! Thank you!

World class sausage roll. Absolutely loved it 😊👍🏼🥰

I would have one tip here and that is roll out the sides of the pastry before final assembly so you end up with half thickness of the pastry where the edges fold together so you end up with uniform pastry thickness.

What a great tutorial, and the finished product looks absolutely amazing!

Great to see someone promoting having a go at pastry! good job!

Was interesting to see you make the pastry so quickly. when I was taught to make it at school, we would rub in a third of the fat then roll out and dot fat in to then fold to form the layers. this would take much longer. cant wait to try this recipe!!

i listen to gill meller on repeat while i work because his voice is solid gold.

Wow, they look amazing!

cant wait to try these. also will use topping seeds like caraway, back cumin, crushed coriander seeds, poppy with sesame.

Warm from the oven and a wee bit of a spicy plum chutney. Yes please!

I used the recipe featured in the Gill Meller River Cottage video above when I made sausage rolls for tea today. They were really easy to make and were absolutely delicious!

This is the best recipe I've seen I have to make these !

Thanks for the recipe, i am use to making it with toasted fenal seeds, dill and sweet parika in the pork seasoning mix and spring onions rather than chives, for breadcrumbs we use german rye bread. This is how my Oma taught me but i will give your recipe a try the crunchy fenal seeds sound really appealing to me and i wonder how plain breadcrumbs will change the flavour. Thank you fo the video take care and God bless.

First ever time making them they came out so well! Definately a favourite

OMG! I miss a good sausage roll! Haven’t had one since I was in London 20 years ago. I live in Sacramento California. I’m going to give this recipe a try knowing the flour is going to be a little tricky because we don’t have the same flour here. I also miss a good scone. And fish and chips! Americans don’t know what they’re missing! (I also yearn, crave for an Aussie meat pie!)

Looks amazing! Thank you for the step by step with the homemade pastry! I'm gonna try! 😁

that recipe for rough puff pastry took me right back to when I was first married in the sixties when you were unable to bye flaky pastry in the shops and I used to make it all by hand, its a good recipe and all ways worked for me. Thank you for that.

"A full list of ingredients can be found below". No! It can't.

Superb is right! These look amazing! :)

Beautiful looking sausage rolls. Def going to try making these. Great video thx

Thank-you Gill, looks like a smashing and easy recipe and one that I hope to try out. 🙂

Bub games would love this

I'll have to give your version a try. They look wonderful.

I made these! Using Richmond sausages (cos I hate them and was given them during lockdown).. I added all your spices. And made the pastry, though it didn't flake. Added too much Fennel on top, but they were well nice and very filling. Lot of effort though..

Rolling rolling rolling rolling Keep them sausages rolling 💚

Gill Meller is my favorite River Cottage chef.

I seriously cannot wait to try this recipe. I love the idea of the "rough puff" pastry.

I love the recipe just would have been good if you put the ingredients list in the video showing how much of each ingredient you put together Instead of having to buy your book to find out the recipe

Excellent! Thank you

Best recipe Sausage Rools . Delicious , easy to make and simple

They look wonderful! I'm making them Asap! They look absolutely delicious.

Just made these, they smell and look great. Taste is amazing YUMMY!

Have made these 3 times now and........ OMW..... DELICIOSO!!!!!!!! EVERY TIME!!!!! So glad I found this post. Thank you for sharing with us!!

Gill always gets a thumbs-up from me, the moment the video starts : ) I will have a go at this one, thank you!

What a wonderful channel, thank you.

These look amazing and you make it look so easy. I can't wait to try them

Excellent!! Looking forward to making this. Thank for sharing this with us!!!

I just keep watching this video!! I guess I’m thinking eventually he’s going to pass me one through the screen.

Definitely making these for our next dinner party! These look awesome!

brilliant! thanks so much! I am definitely making these!

I always make my own sausage rolls … it’s the only way I get a lovely, crisp, shortcrust pastry, which I find wholly preferable to flaky pastry. 😋

Absolutely superb! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Wonderful recipe, great flavours,wil be making these over winter.

3 points: 1. I love that you use the metric system like an educated, civilized person. 2. You should pop the ingredients listing in the video description. 3. THEY LOOK INCREDIBLE!

Stupendous recipe components and your technique is so calm and encouraging!!

for those who want the recipe...I went the River Cottage site. join the site. typed in sausage rolls and there it was. I was able to print it too. Hope this helps.

Great! I'm onboard, I'll give it a go and let you know, thanks Perry

Best looking rolls I've ever seen

Really Awesome, I would go for a low fat pastry, but must say they look fantastic, will certainly try making them.

WOW!....you make them look so easy to create.......

Really enjoyed this video, well filmed, beautifully presented, good job! And those sausage rolls look BRILLIANT X
