Ingredients
  

  • 1 puff pastry ready rolled sheet
  • 411 g jar mincemeat

Method
 

Spread the mincemeat on the pastry
  1. Take the pastry out of the fridge around ten minutes before you need to use it. Unroll the the pastry sheet, and using the back of a spoon spread the mincemeat all over.
Form the palmiers
  1. Roll the pastry up from each long edge so it meets in the middle. Try and make the rolls as tight as possible.
  2. Pop the palmier in the freezer for around 10-15 minutes so it can firm up a bit.
  3. Preheat your oven to 180C / 170C Fan /350F and prepare two baking trays with baking/parchment paper.
Cut the palmiers
  1. Remove the palmier roll from the freezer and cut it into roughly 1cm slices. Pop them on your baking trays.
Bake your mincemeat palmier
  1. Bake the palmiers in the oven for 12-15 minutes. They're ready when the pastry has risen and turned golden and the mincemeat is bubbling and has caramelised on top.
  2. Remove them from the oven, leave to cool for a few minutes before removing from your baking tray to cool completely.
  3. Serve and enjoy!
