This is the first of three recipes I’m posting for Lianna. I could photocopy them but I like having an online recipe because I can always get access to it even if I’m away from home.
I haven’t tried these but I will be trying them next week. They look so easy that I’m sure nobody could fail.
Ingredients
- 50g golden caster sugar
- 375g ready rolled puff pastry
- 411g jar of mincemeat
- 1tbsp milk
- 25g flaked almonds, optional
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 220C or 180C for fan oven.
- Scatter sugar over worktop and unroll pastry and place it on top of the sugar. Roll it out a bit until it’s about 25% bigger but still a rectangle.
- Spoon and spread mincemeat evenly over the pastry leaving a 2cm border along the longest edges.
- Fold one of the longest edges over so it just reaches the mincemeat and then roll the pastry tightly into a sausage shape while gently pressing the pastry into the mincemeat.
- When you get to the other edge, brush the “sausage” with milk and press down to seal in the mincemeat.
- Press both ends in gently to plump up the roll and chill for at least 30 minutes to firm. (Can be frozen whole or sliced for up to 3 months.)
- Cut the roll into 12 rounds about 3cm thick.
- Lay them evenly spaced on a baking sheet and flatten them with your hand so that they look like squashed Chelsea buns.
- Scatter almonds on top, if using, and bake for 20-30 mins until golden brown and the mincemeat sizzles.
- Store without stacking or they will stick together.
