Frankfurter Rolls
 
 
Author:
Ingredients
  • 1 pack of puff pastry (use ready rolled or frozen if you prefer)
  • 1 pack of frankfurters (I'm using Tahira Chicken frankfurters)
  • 1 whisked egg (optional, I didn't use any egg to seal, but you may if you want a more secure pastry)
Method
  1. Thoroughly defrost the frankfurters before you start.
  2. Roll out the chilled pastry on a flat surface to use.
  3. If you are using frozen puff pastry, use a rolling pin and roll out into a large rectangle (approximately 20 x 35 cm) with a width of 3 - 4mm.
  4. Place 2 frankfurters into the pastry as shown (top left photo) and then begin to roll the pastry around the frankfurters (top right photo).
  5. Once there is enough pastry wrapped around the frankfurters, take a knife and cut the pastry (top left photo) and then separate the two frankfurters (top right photo). I don't use any egg to seal the pastry but you may do this if you prefer.
  6. Next pinch the seam of the pastry to secure together (bottom left photo) and trim off any excess pastry on the ends (bottom right photo).
  7. Lay the pastry covered frankfurter, seam side down, and then roll back and forth on the counter using your hand.
  8. Tuck the ends in and shape them around the frankfurter (bottom left photo), try to smooth out the pastry as best you can.
  9. Next take a knife and cut the frankfurter into 3 equal pieces.
  10. Cover the remaining frankfurters in the same manner till you have used them all up.
  11. If you plan on freezing them, place on a flat tray and freeze, once solid transfer to a freezer bag till needed.
  12. To cook, use a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper (this prevents the pastry from sticking to the tray) and bake in a hot oven, gas mark 6 (200 degrees Celsius) for 15 - 20 minutes if the rolls aren't frozen, OR between 25 - 30 minutes, if they are being cooked from frozen.
  13. The rolls are cooked when the pastry is puffy and golden.
  14. The pastries can be served hot or cold, don't forget to serve them alongside your favourite dipping sauce.
  15. Watch them disappear in no time, just be sure to grab a few for yourself!
