Sausage rolls came to the prairies with British settlers and found a second home here, where ground pork was always on hand and puff pastry made it feel like a celebration. Today they are the first thing to vanish at prairie potlucks, bridal showers, and holiday tables — small, golden, and impossible to eat just one of.
This version wraps herby, seasoned pork in buttery flaky pastry until it is crisp and golden outside and juicy within. They are simple enough for a weeknight snack and impressive enough for company, and they freeze beautifully — which is how every prairie baker manages to have a tray ready at all times.
