Gluten-free mincemeat pinwheels

Home-made mince pies can take different shapes, such asChristmas trees, snowballs,twists, stars and Catherine wheels. I made these easy vegan & gluten-free mincemeat pinwheels for a party last year. They were a huge success! It’s important to use good quality mincemeat, like any of thesehome-made mincemeat versions. If you’re not vegan, you can brush the pinwheels with egg-wash - they will be shiny and golden! These are perfect treats, nibbles and gifts during Christmas time.

  • 1 gluten-free puff pastry ready-rolled
  • Mincemeat
  • 1 Egg whisked (optional)

  1. Unroll the pastry and cut it into 10 cm squares using a pizza cutter.
  2. Then make a 4cm diagonal cut from each corner towards the centre of each square.
  3. Place a spoonful of mincemeat in the middle, then fold the left corner of each of the cut corners into the middle of the filling and press them firmly.
  4. Brush the pinwheels with egg-wash, if you like a shiny finish and you're not vegan. (You can scatter some almond flakes on top if you like)
  5. Put them on a lined baking tray and rest for 10 minutes in the fridge.
  6. Heat the oven to 180C, then bake the pinwheels for 10-15 minutes until golden.
  7. Transfer them to a cooling rack.
  8. When lukewarm, dust them with icing sugar and serve.
