How about having a go at making a traditional Christmas treat with our really easy recipe for puff pastry mince pies!
Ingredients
- 200g packet ready rolled filo pastry
- 50g (2oz) butter, melted
- Fresh chives
- Red pepper
- Avocado, prawn and lemon:
- 25g (1oz) butter
- 1/2 lemon, grated rind and juice
- 1 spring onion, finely sliced
- 50g (2oz) fresh peeled prawns
- 1/2 ripe avocado, peeled, stone removed and diced
- Feta and lime:
- 25g (1oz) butter
- 1/2 lime, grated rind and juice
- 50g (2oz) feta cheese, crumbled
- 15ml (1tbsp) fresh coriander, chopped
- Sausage and cranberry:
- 4 chunky sausages, skins removed
- 15ml (1tbsp) cranberry sauce
- 25g (1oz) bean sprouts
- 1/4 green pepper, deseeded and finely sliced
Method
Make each of the fillings separately by mixing together all ingredients listed for each.
Take the sheets of filo and cut into 4 (this should give you rectangles about 15x20cm)
Place one sheet on a board and brush with melted butter, place a further sheet on top and brush again with butter.
Place a spoonful of the mixture at the edge in the centre and roll up – pinch the edges to make a cracker shape – continue until you have sufficient crackers for the festive occasion!
Place on a baking sheet and brush with a little more melted butter – this will make them crisp and golden
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C/375°F/gas 5 for about 15 mins until pastry is golden and crisp
Finish off with fresh chives and very thin strips of red pepper for ‘bows’
