Nigerian Sausage Rolls
Nigerian Sausage Rolls
Sausage rolls are popular all over Nigeria and most African countries. The sausage is made from either beef or pork(depending on religious beliefs), and is rolled up inside a buttery biscuity pastry. They get baked, and I get baked. The sausage rolls turn out golden brown and flakey. Before you know it, you just might accidentally eat all of them in a course of a night.
