Robin's Creamy, Cheesy Sausage Puffs

I can't remember how many this makes exactly as I tend to just eye-ball things and if I have leftovers I just freeze for next time. Some in the pic are a little overstuffed, but you can never have too much ;-)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Sausage filling can be made in advance and refrigerated. I refrigerate mine before using.

* Step 2

Cook the sausage, drain the grease and place in a mixing bowl.

* Step 3

Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Mix with a spoon until everything is fully incorporated. Set aside or refrigerate.

* Step 4

For the puff pastry, cube the butter. Add the flour (salt if needed) and cubed butter to a bowl. Place the bowl into the refrigerator to make everything cold.

* Step 5

Once cold, remove the bowl and cut the butter with a knife while making sure the flour coats the butter.

* Step 6

Dump the mixture out onto a work surface, create a well in the center and add a few tablespoons of water. Mix with your fingers.

* Step 7

Continue to mix and add a tablespoon of ice cold water at a time until the mixture holds together.

* Step 8

Form the dough into a square, wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.

* Step 9

Roll the dough into a long rectangle (about 15"x 8"). Fold into thirds - the top down and the bottom up. Turn the dough half way, roll into another rectangle and fold again.
