As much as we love making – and eating – mince pies, we also love finding new treats to make using mincemeat over the festive season and more ways to use up leftover mincemeat throughout the year too. One of our latest bakes are these easy Mincemeat Puff Pastry Twists – super easy to make and utterly delicious too! They follow on nicely from our easy mincemeat swirls and the kids love to help make them.
How do you make easy puff pastry mincemeat twists?
These puff pastry mincemeat twists could not be easier to make. You just need ready rolled puff pastry sheets, mincemeat – either shop bought or homemade – and an egg to glaze the finished pastries with before baking.
Although out children tend to eat these mincemeat pastry twists as soon as they’ve cooled slightly from the oven, you can also dust them with icing sugar before serving to make them look a little bit more fancy! Especially if making them at Christmas.
There really is nothing like the combination of mincemeat and puff pastry, and we have lots more puff pastry recipes with mince meat planned including some puff pastry mince pies, watch this space!
