Well Friday night my wife had a hankering for Saucijzenbroodjes, which are Dutch sausage rolls. They're super easy to make and only require 3 things... Sausage, Puff Pasty and an Egg. So I whipped up a batch.

Full story is here on my blog, but here's the lowdown...

The original recipe is ground beef/pork mixed with Mace, Nutmeg and Black Pepper, but I'm lazy, so I just picked up a chub of Jimmy Dean Sage flavored. Mighty tasty.


Cut the puff pastry into squares, fill with the sausage, fold close and crimp.


Brush with egg wash and bake in a 350 degree oven about 30 minutes, or until the tops are nice and brown.


I over-filled these, which I always do and they blew out the side, but they still taste awesome.

Eet Smakelijk!

Funny you should ask... I'm getting ready to post something soon that I think you'll enjoy if you're looking for authentic Dutch recipes. But short answer, yes. I'll get it when I get home and post it for you. Smile

Pigs! (a.k.a. pigs-in-a-blanket)  I've eaten lots of those!  I've always seen them made with a short dough, though, never with puff pastry.  That way they come out more like miniature Cornish pasties than like some Frenchified hors d'oeuvre. Wink  Of course, lots of cultures have some sort of sausage roll, and maybe the Dutch have more versions than what I am familiar with, but that's how I remember pigs in Dutch-American communities.

Yes, there are lots of different varieties of these, and they often go by different names, usually depending on the region. Example, my family calls what I made above sausijzenbroodjes, but if you ask my Uncle's wife, that comes from a different region of Holland what a saucijzenbroodje is, she'd come up with pretty much the same thing, except with cased (link) sausage, which we call a Worstenbroodje.

What you're describing is more of what we'd call a Saucijzen Rollen. But again, it just depends on where you are and where you came from. Many different terms all mean the same thing, especially with the old recipes.Smile

And Ron, here's the original recipe that I have for the sausage...
1 cup ground beef
1/2 cup lean ground pork
1 egg
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp mace
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Mixed well.

u the man - thanks!
 
funny thing about names - when i was a kid, a pig in a blanket was a hot dog or little smokie wrapped in a crescent roll - basically a suburban version of what daikon describes above. then when i grew up and met my wife, pigs in a blanket were a whole different thing to her, based on her family history:
 
 
it's all good, as far as i am concerned! Clap

yep yep! To me, when you say pig in a blanket I immediately think a breakfast sausage wrapped in a pancake. Mmmm. So many local varieties of the same thing.

I was looking through all of mom's old cookbooks while I was over there for easter today. Here's a recipe for saucijzebroodjes from a turn of the century Dutch cookbook.



My (probably poor) translation of it.

for the dough:
125 gr hard butter or hay butter or calf kidney fat
125 gr flour, some salt, some water (about 1/4 cup)

for the filling:
75 gr veal sausage
75 gr pork sausage
25 gr stale bread
pepper, salt and nutmeg

Prepare dough in the usual way (see recipe 853).  Grind the meat through the grinder again, mixed in the usual manner with a bit of pepper, salt and nutmeg, and make small rolls. Roll the dough out until it's fairly thin, and cut pieces about 4 inches by 6 inches. Put a roll of meat on the dough, fold the dough around it and use water to seal. Put the rolls sealed side down on a baking sheet and cut slits in the top with a knife. Brush with egg yolks beaten with some water or milk. Bake in a fairly warm oven (400 Fahrenheit) until light brown and cooked through (about 20 minutes)

Your cookbook must indeed be many years old, Mike. The first sentence "Bereid op de gewone wijze feuilletée.." says it all. It says "prepare puff pastry the usual way". Indeed, feuilletée is none other than puff pastry. Any modern cookbook would have said; buy a roll of puff pastry.
 
This recipe you posted dates from the time where people made their own puff pastry which is notoriously time consuming and difficult to make it right!
We want more from that book, well, I do! I love to make "worstenbroodjes" (sausage breads) as we call them on occasion. There's a village nearby who has some sort of an regional recognition for very similar worstenbroodjes. They call them "piros", seems to be a recipe that goes back ages.

there's a saying here in america, "ain't no school like the old school," and that certainly applies here.
 
give me the home-made puff pastry (or nearly home-mnade ANYTHING) over store-bought any day. on weeknights or for "everyday" cooking, i have no problem with busy familes taking a few shortcuts, but for weekend,s holidays, special events or for people who really love to cook, go ahead and do it right, if you can ~

It's definitely an old book. I'm not sure exactly how old, because it doesn't have a printing date in it. But the foreword is dated 1910.  It's the 11th printing, so the book itself is probably from the 1920s, but the recipe could be anywhere from 1890s-1920s. My Oma got it when she graduated from huishoudschool in the late 1920s.


I've asked my mom to scan it for me when she can, I'd love to go through some of the old recipes and try to make some of them the old-school way.

go ahead and do it right, if you can ~ 
 
As a general thing, Ron, I certainly agree with this philosophy. But.....have you ever actually made puff pastry?
 
There are certain things best left to professionals. IMO, puff pastry is one of them.

It's pretty much like making croissants right? I haven't had the nerve to try that one yet either, but someday I will.

true, brook - very difficult, and i would certainly not fault anyone for buying puff pastry ~
 
but on the same note i really believe that to get down to it and elarn the fundamentals, you gotta do it like grandma or great-grandma did and at least try making it once or twice. to me (and this is just me, i don't expect anyone to agree) a person who makes a slightly-faulty puff pastry will get more out of the experience than a person who buys a perfect puff pastry.
 
having said that, the ready-made things are an important convenience and a way for people to try things that they might not get to try otherwise, so there are some good sides - it's a double-edged sword, but i'll lean toward the old-school any day of the week ~

I'm pretty sure that none of my grandmothers or great-grandmothers ever made puff pastry.  It has always been a specialty preparation made mostly by professional bakers or pastry chefs.  If your grandmother or great-grandmother was lucky enough to have eaten puff pastry with some regularity and you want to do it just like grandma did, then the right approach is probably to buy finished product from someone else.

Thumbs Up Daikon.
 
One aspect of this is that home cooks, of necessity, try to be all things, and be equally good at them.
 
There are reasons, though, why the savory side and the pastry side of a professional kitchen are run separately. Different skill sets, is why.
 
Yeah, Ron, everybody should try everything at least once. No argument. But you remember the great words of W.C. Fields? "If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No sense making a damn fool of yourself."
 
Me, I've had my tries at puff pastry. Now I'll let the pros do it for me.

point taken, daikon ~ perhaps the puff pastry was a bad example of what i was trying to say.

This is probably why there are variants like the short-dough-wrapped pig-in-the-blankets that I mentioned earlier: puff pastry was too much work, unavailable, or too expensive (the last of which would undoubtedly have been the opinion of my Dutch ancestors....)  I can easily see Saucijzenbroodjes in puff pastry being an occasional, out-on-the-town treat, while the simpler pigs were more make-at-home staples.
