Easy as a pie Mince Pies
I am all into Christmas this week and really inspired by Jamie Oliver Mince Pies. After watching the video, I realized it is so easy to make and I decided not to follow the measurements from the website. Basically I just used whatever I have. Again, I only made four of these because I try to avoid any leftover. This mince pies recipe is very flexible, you can use any fruits and nuts that you preferred. Most importantly, it taste beautiful!
Yield for 4 pieces
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp good quality mincemeat
- 2 pieces of Puff pastry (I used Kawan frozen puff pastry)
- 1 piece of Filo pastry
- Hazelnut, chopped
- Almond slice
- Dried cranberries
- Melted butter
Methods:
- Dust working area with flour, roll out puff pastry to slightly bigger square.
- Put some mincemeat on top, leave some space at the sides.
- Sprinkle dried cranberries and chopped hazelnut on top, if you have clementine or orange can add some zest as well.
- Roll it like a swiss roll. Cut into half. Repeat the same for the other piece of puff pastry.
- Take a piece of filo pastry, brush melted butter on top. Fold it into half, the side with butter face outside and put it on baking tray covering 4 holes. I used 24 holes baking tray. Gently push the filo pastry into the hole, do not tear it.
- Fill the 4 holes with the rolled puff pastry. Brush the top with butter, sprinkle with almond slice and dust with icing sugar.
- Bake in pre-heated oven at 170-180C for 20-25 minutes. Check the filo pastry from time to time because they burn faster.
