With the first of the May bank holiday's behind us, it's time to try Maz's sausage roll recipe to become the toast of your next picnic gathering.
We spent a smashing, if not little chilly, day out at
Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway Adventure Park over the bank holiday weekend. The kids were pumped for the railway ride and the endless fun in and around the different play areas, but for the adults, you've guessed it, we were there for the picnic!
Days out can be expensive as a family, so a great way to tackle that, is to steer clear of the cafes and pre-bought goods and make your own. We had friends loaded with picnic hampers, one containing M&S sausage rolls! We unloaded our goodies, with our boys ready to crack into the sausage rolls they'd helped make earlier that day and eager to share with our friends to see if they liked them. So of course being the grown-ups we are (and not competitive at all) we had to do a taste test, so with little eyes closed and chilly little hands held open, they each got one of the shop brought sausage rolls and one from Maz's Kitchen. An internal sigh of relief, although I knew we'd beat therm(!), the consensus from the kids was that Maz's saussy rolls won the day. With kids back to play, the adults had a turn, and as we'd hoped, there's just no beating homemade and to top it off, at just a fraction of the cost compared to the store brought option.
