Cheesy Sausage Peek-a-Boos

These are they and they taste as good as they look.  I fancied making sausage rolls, but wanted something a little bit different.  I had sausages defrosting for tea tonight, and borrowed two from the pack which I then took the skin off and made some cheesy pastry to wrap around them.  Easy peasy.  

Cheese Pastry:

225g/8 oz plain flour
1/2 level tspn salt
1/2 level tspn dried mustard
Pinch Cayenne pepper
75g/3 oz firm margarine or butter
75g/3 oz finely grated cheese
1 egg-yolk
2 tablespoons water (use measure)

Sieve dry ingredients into a bowl and rub in margarine.  Mix in cheese. Mix the egg yolk with water and bind all together (you may need to use more water if a little dry).  Knead until smooth.  Wrap in greaseproof paper and leave for half an hour before rolling out (I didn't!)

I rolled mine out to a double-sausage length and about 1 1/2 inches/4 cm wide either side.  I wetted the edges with egg white and folded across the sausages, and then cut them into slices and rolled them into balls and glazed with egg white and cooked them at 400F/200C deg./Gas 6 for 15 mins. 

These are Lemon Drizzle Muffins - recipe was up on here a little while back.  I'll add a link tomorrow too.  We have friends round for coffee, cake and chat, hence the baking.

The hall - just to show it CAN be tidy if I work hard enough!  We had the first agent out today.  All I can say is if an agent won't give you a valuation, but compares your property with MUCH lesser ones as being on "a par with these" - this includes our neighbour's small 2 bedroom cottage - and suggests an offers over asking price of the lowest value we were given 10 years ago, then they are unlikely to gain either our respect or our business.

The morning room all tidy too.

Back in the morning.  Hoping I can sleep.  I am very upset about today's goings on.
