I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'savoury pastry' is the definition.
'sausage roll' can be an answer for 'pastry' (sausage roll is a kind of pastry). I am not certain of the 'savoury' bit.

'seagull soar off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'seagull'+'soar'='seagullsoar'
'seagullsoar' is an anagram of 'SAUSAGE-ROLL'.

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sausage roll that I've seen before include "Pork and pastry snack" , "Baked meat product in pastry" , "Party fare" , "Cylindrical snack" , "Savoury of minced meat wrapped in pastry" .)
