How to make quick and easy sausage rolls with your kids

January 23, 2019 by Kate 10 Comments

Sausage rolls are always a crowd favourite, especially when it comes to feeding kids. Today I’m sharing a secret recipe with you. I’ll teach you how to make quick and easy sausage rolls with your kids! How to make quick and easy sausage rolls with your kids
I have probably made this sausage roll recipe with my kids over two dozen times, they could probably make it themselves if I really let them. It’s great because it allows them to get involved, includes only a few key ingredients, requires basic skills and the sausage rolls turn out delicious! They are also egg free, which suits Possum who is anaphylactic to eggs. 

Recommended age: 3 years + 
(Strict and constant supervision is required at all times) 

Kids grating carrot

When making these sausage rolls, begin by preparing the ingredients. 

Begin with the carrots. 

Grating carrots with kids

Getting your child to grate a carrot can be hair-raising, however, if you feel confident enough that your child can do it safely and successfully with lots of step by step support from you, then give it a go. 

Once I talked to Boo (aged 4 years) about how to use the grater, where to hold it and which side to use, then we talked about the carrot and the angle it was to be held on and the motion to drag the carrot. If you’re wanting more suggestions on teaching your child how to use a grater, check out this post from Nicole at Planning with Kids.

Mixing

Mixing ingredients in a bowl is one of those tasks that children just love to partake in. They really get a sense of being involved when they have to move the ingredients around and mix them together. 

It’s also a great gross motor activity for them to do as it requires lots of upper body strength to do it.

You might like to take over cutting the onions yourself, but talk about why onions make you cry. They might find that interesting.

Painting on the milk wash

Just like painting, have your child brush the milk wash over the pasty. It’s simple and fun for them. 

Cook them in a preheated oven at 180c (or 356f) for 10-15 minutes or until they are deliciously golden brown. 

Enjoy!

      Hi Taylor. You need to cook them for a good 15 minutes or until you feel they are cooked through and delicious and brown on top. YUUUM.
