Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6, 200ºC, 400ºF. Cut pastry in half lengthways. Roll out to about 30cm x10cm.
With the longest length of pastry closest to you, place 3 separate teaspoons full of jam or chutney straight onto the pastry, spacing out evenly, and allowing space for the ‘plaits’. Top the jam with a skinless sausage.
Cut between the sausages creating 3 ‘plaits’. Now cut parallel, diagonal slits either side of the sausage in the pastry about 1cm apart.
Lightly brush with water and then ‘plait’/fold the strips alternately over one another. Repeat with remaining pastry.
Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg then bake in a preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until pastry is risen and golden.
