Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Pork mince ground pork, 15-20% fat content
  • 1 packet French onion soup mix or 1 cup sautéed onions plus 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 2 sheets Puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 1 Egg for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon Milk for egg wash
  • Optional: cheddar cheese, fresh herbs, chili flakes for customization

Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush
  • Sharp knife or pizza cutter
  • Small bowl for egg wash

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine pork mince, French onion soup mix, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and cracked black pepper. Mix with hands or spoon until evenly incorporated.
  3. Roll out puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet in half lengthwise to create four long rectangles.
  4. Place a portion of filling (about 1/4 of mixture) along one long edge of each pastry strip, shaping it into a log.
  5. Roll the pastry over the filling and seal the edges by brushing water or egg wash along the seam and pressing gently.
  6. Beat the egg with milk. Brush generously over the tops and sides of each roll.
  7. Place rolls on prepared baking tray, spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Allow rolls to rest for 5 minutes after removing from oven. Slice into individual portions using a sharp serrated knife.

Notes

For best results, use fresh pork mince with adequate fat content. Distribute filling evenly to prevent leakage. These freeze beautifully unbaked - freeze on a tray, then transfer to freezer bag and bake from frozen (add 5-7 minutes to baking time). Serve warm with mustard, chutney, or your favorite dipping sauce.
