Sausage Plait Tutorial

October 25
14 Comments

Have you heard of a sausage plait? I had never heard of one prior to a friend introducing me to this beautiful AND easy meal!  Honestly I didn’t even make the connection that “plait” means braid (I guess being a boy mom limited my braid-related vocabulary).  But that’s exactly what this meal is, a braided pastry filled with a delicious sausage and apple mixture!  It’s so simple to create yet I promise the results will make you look like an expert in the kitchen.  When you pull this baby from the oven it will appear like you slaved away baking this showstopper!  This lovely meal resembles a mummy of pastry dough which also makes it a perfect entree to serve at a haunted dinner party.  I promised I’d share the main event from my spooky soiree…and here is the simple tutorial for creating it!
