Instructions:

• Add margarine in small bits into the bowl of flour.

• Use finger tips to rub the butter/margarine into the flour till it becomes like crumbs.

• Add water bits by bits , till you form a dough.

• Knead the dough well, but do not over work dough. put back in the bowl and leave to rest 10-15mins.

• Lightly season sausage meat with salt and nutmeg. ( the sausage meat I bought was already seasoned)

• Now roll out the dough into a rectangle shape then scoop the sausage meat and form into a log, then fold the pastry over the meat filling to form a long roll. (You can seal with water or egg)
