Ingredients
- 320 grams puff pastry
- 4 tablespoons mincemeat
- 20 grams dried cranberries
- 20 grams dried dates cut into small pieces
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 50 grams icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- If your puff pastry is not ready rolled, roll it out into a large rectangle approx 0.5cm thick.
- Spread the mincemeat over the whole of the puff pastry sheet. Sprinkle over the cranberries and dates.
- From the longest edge, roll the puff pastry up into a spiral. Cut slices approximately 1 inch thick and lay down flat on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. You should get 10 spirals.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat. Use a pastry brush to brush it over the spirals.
- Sprinkle the caster sugar over the top. Put in the oven for 20-30 minutes until risen and golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- In a small bowl, mix together the icing sugar and water to make a smooth icing. It should be drizzling consistency- add more water if it is too thick.
- Use a spoon to roughly drizzle the icing over the spirals: let it set, then enjoy.
