Feeding advice for bantams (one broody, one moulting)

[Cinnamon]

I had a bit of a flash of inspiration last night, which doesn't happen often,but has resulted in some mince pies which are so simple they almost make themselves

 

Get a sheet of that chilled ready rolled puff pastry,& once it has reached room temperature (it will crack otherwise) open it out flat onto a work top which has been disted with sugar & cinnamon.

 

Egg wash one long side, the one neares you is easiest.

Spread a jar of mincemat over the rest,leaving a 1cm edge to the short sides.

I used my home made mincemeat,but any good quality stiff will do.

The roll it up, starting with the un egg washed side,like a swiss roll - its really easy to do.

 

Then slice the roll into little discs.I made mine about 1cm wide.

Sit them on a greased tray,not on their sides,but as if they are still on the big roll, & egg wash the pasry top.

bake at about 180 (fan) for anout 13mins.

 

They are really delicious, & would make nice party nibble too, as you can make then smaller if you like

I did something similar a few years ago. I cooked them like biscuits with the discs flat on the baking sheet and then drizzled glace icing over and sprinkled flaked almonds on top when they were cooked and cool. They were really tasty.

Jamie Oliver makes some like this but he lines a muffin tin with Filo pastry first then puts the puff pastry rolls on top, they are delicious.......

You can also do of mincemeat ravioli type-pies using the roll out sort of puff pastry.

 

I'll leave the method to your imagination, but they are quick, easy and rather nice looking.

The oven is on with jackets in, a packet of puff pastry is sitting in the fridge with a jar of home made mincemeat - karma ?
