Pigs in Blankets

Have been looking for a recipe like this for awhile(thank you Nigella Lawson)...one that doesnt use store bought puff pastry or crescent dough(since I cant find it here) and doesnt take me ages to make....perfect for lunchboxes too!!

Since the sausages tend to be pretty salty...i omitted the salt but i did increase the amount of cheese used...

Ingredients(revised):
2 cups self-rising flour
4 tablespoons grated cheese (I used tasty since that's what i have left)
1 cup whole milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
50 pork cocktail sausages
Additional beaten egg for glazing

Method:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees Celsius
  2. Mix all the ingredients, except the sausages, together to form a dough
  3. Roll dough out thinly on floured surface and cut into 50 rectangles
  4. Wrap sausages diagonally across each piece of rectangle and pinch the ends close
  5. Brush with egg wash
  6. Into the oven for 12 - 15 mins
Verdict: Jayden had 5 at one go...Thomas had 2 AFTER dinner....'nuff said ...and i do have to add tat we didnt miss the salt at all...was really tasty even without the salt
