Ingredients

320 g Puff Pastry
450 g Pork Sausage Meat
1 Egg
Vegetable Spray Oil

Instructions

If your air fryer requires it, set it to preheat.
Roll 320g Puff Pastry out on a floured surface to about 0.25 inch thickness. Or unroll a sheet of ready rolled pastry.
Cut the sheet into half lengthways with a sharp knife.
Skin enough sausages to get 450g Sausage Meat. Or if using ready prepared sausage meat, split it into two and form each half into a long sausage.
Place the sausage meat around ⅔ of the way along each pastry strip. Make sure it reaches from end to end. You can mold the sausage meat into the right shape. Make sure to press the end of one sausage into the next if you are using skinned sausage.
Beat 1 Egg in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to cover the large side of exposed pastry.
Start to roll the pastry around the sausage meat starting with the unwashed smaller top section. Keep the pastry nice and tight to the sausage meat.
Continue to roll until the meat is totally sealed. Wet your finger a little and gently press along with pastry seam - this will allow the pastry to meld together and reduce the likelihood of the pastry coming apart as it cooks.
Using a sharp knife make gentle diagonal slashes down the whole of each roll.
Use the same sharp knife to cut the end off of each roll to neaten it up if needed. Cut each roll into two and place the 4 rolls next to each other on the board. Use the knife to saw rather than press down or you will squash the rolls.
Wipe the knife and cut all 4 rolls into 3 equal pieces. Wipe the knife again in between each cut. Don't forget not to press to hard.
Move the rolls apart and generously egg wash the top and sides of each.. Make sure to not wash the exposed ends or sausage meat.
Oil the bottom of the basket - Spray Oil is my preferred way of doing this. Carefully move the sausage rolls into your air fryer basket. You will likely need to bake them in batches. Remember that they will expand while cooking so leave a gap between each.
Note - Be careful not to touch the basket if you have preheated the machine. I use silicone tongs to void potential accidents.
Bake for 15 minutes at 180c/350f until light golden brown. Please see my notes about timings and temperatures.
Once baked, carefully move the cooked sausage rolls to a cooling rack and repeat with the next batch until they are all cooked.

Notes

The air fryer version of this recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can fit 6 sausage rolls in the basket at a time. The fit is quite snug. For the recipe as written, this means that I need to cook the sausage rolls in 2 batches.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
