Instructions

  1. Make 1 lb. of puff-paste by recipe No. 1206;
  2. roll it out to the thickness of about 1/2 inch, or rather less, and divide it into 8, 10, or 12 squares, according to the size the rolls are intended to be.
  3. Place some sausage-meat on one-half of each square, wet the edges of the paste, and fold it over the meat; slightly press the edges together, and trim them neatly with a knife.
  4. Brush the rolls over with the yolk of an egg, and bake them in a well-heated oven for about 1/2 hour, or longer should they be very large.
  5. The remains of cold chicken and ham, minced and seasoned, as also cold veal or beef, make very good rolls.
