How To Make Christmas Sausage Rolls

We are getting closer to the 25^th December, CHRISTMAS DAY and I thought I would make some sausage rolls. This is my first ever time making them and I thought I would try it out before the big day. I gave some to my work colleagues and I must say it went down a treat, everyone thoroughly enjoyed them therefore I thought I would share the recipe with you all. As I have said in my Indulgent Christmas Macaroni & Cheese recipe I usually cooked guided by our ancestors therefore if you feel to change and adapt the recipe feel free.
