Cocktail sausages hugged in flaky, buttery pastry and baked until golden. The air fryer puffs the dough beautifully and crisps the base, making these the fastest crowd-pleaser at any gathering.

- 1 sheet puff pastry or crescent dough
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tsp sesame or poppy seeds
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)

- 3Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with seeds.
- 4Preheat the air fryer to 190°C/375°F and line the basket with perforated paper.

Tips for the best results
