Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 roll ups
Ingredients
- 1 package of puff pastry
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Thaw the puff pastry according to package instructions, typically about 30-40 minutes at room temperature until it becomes pliable but still cool.
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until the sausage is fully browned and no pink remains, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Drain the cooked sausage on paper towels to remove excess grease and allow it to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread the cooked sausage evenly across the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the pastry tightly from one long side to the other, creating a compact log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 12 equal rounds.
- Place the roll-ups cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the buttermilk syrup. In a medium saucepan, combine buttermilk, sugar, and maple syrup.
- Cook the syrup mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to bubble and thicken, approximately 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Once the sausage roll-ups are done, remove from the oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes.
- Drizzle the warm buttermilk syrup over the roll-ups just before serving. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Tips
- Thawing Puff Pastry: Make sure to allow your puff pastry to thaw completely at room temperature for the best texture. If you're short on time, you can also thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
- Sausage Selection: Choose a flavorful breakfast sausage that you love. You can even experiment with different types, like spicy or herbed varieties, to add a unique twist to your roll-ups.
- Cutting the Roll-Ups: When slicing the rolled pastry, use a sharp knife and a gentle sawing motion to avoid squishing the roll-ups. This will help keep the layers intact for a flakier texture.
- Baking Tips: For an extra golden finish, brush the tops of the roll-ups with an egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of water) before baking.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve these roll-ups warm and fresh out of the oven for the best experience. The combination of crispy pastry and warm buttermilk syrup is truly unbeatable!
