Sharing Sausage Plaits

Preheat the oven to 200C. Roll out the pastry into a 25cm x 20cm rectangle, and heat the butter in a frying pan before adding the onion to soften for a few minutes. Combine the softened onion with the sausage meat in a bowl, and season well with whatever you fancy.
Put the meat mixture down the middle of the long length of rolled pastry. With a sharp knife, make slits 3cm apart, 1 cm from the sausage mix to the edge of the pastry, slanting away from you. Brush all of the pastry with beaten egg.
It’s time to plait! Starting at the end nearest you, fold the pastry pieces alternatively over one another, giving a plait effect. Brush the top with beaten egg, and bake in the oven for 40 mins. Serve in slices either hot or cold.
