My kids absolutely loved this quick fix. It works well for adults too as both my husband and I also enjoyed it. I served it as a light lunch. The great thing about it is that it takes just 35 minutes, more or less, to complete both preparation and baking. In this recipe I used shop bought puff pastry. If using shop bought puff pastry ensure that it thaws adequately before use. I thawed mine overnight in the refrigerator.

Equipment needed
- Rolling pin
- Small bowl
- Pastry brush
- Baking sheet
- Baking paper
- Sharp knife
Instructions
- Get all your ingredients together. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line your baking sheet with baking paper and set aside.
- Lightly flour your working area and using a rolling pin, roll out your pastry.
- Take your frankfurter sausage and lay it on the rolled pastry to measure it’s length. This will help you mark where you should cut.
- Leaving a space of about 3 cm right round the pastry, make horizontal slits across the pastry.
- Weave the sausage in and out of the pastry until all the sausages are used up. I used 8 frankfurters.
- Carefully slide the sausage and pastry onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Carefully brush the pastry only with the beaten egg. Ensuring you don’t brush the sausages with the egg.
- Bake in preheat oven for 20 min or until golden brown.
- When done, allow it to slightly cool and again carefully slide it out of the baking sheet. You may slice it up into 8 equal portions, serve and enjoy!
