Method:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 220 deg. C., 450 deg. F., Gas Mark 7. Grease and line two large baking sheets with greaseproof paper.
  2. Mix the sausage meat, onion, celery and sage together and season with a little salt and pepper.
  3. Roll the pastry out on a well-floured board into a large rectangle. Cut into three strips, lengthways.
  4. With floured hands, take a third of the sausage meat mixture and make a long sausage shape, then lay it on one half of one of the strips of pastry. Moisten the edges with a little egg and milk mixture then fold the other half of the length of pastry over and seal along the edges. Using a sharp knife, cut about 8 sausage rolls out of one strip, then snip the tops to allow the steam to escape. Repeat with the remaining two pastry strips.
  5. Place all the sausage rolls on the baking sheets, brush with beaten egg and bake on two shelves, swapping them over halfway through for 15 to 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown. Remove the sausage rolls from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm or cold.
  6. Meanwhile, make the dip by adding all the ingredients to a saucepan and heating gently until warm. Pour the dip into a bowl and serve with the warm sausage rolls.
