Mince Pies And Cinnamon Rolls
Merry Christmas from everyone at CasinoEuro! We hope you’re having a great day and that you’ve got enough new socks to last you another year. If there’s any space in your oven, we’ve got not one, but two delicious recipes in store for you today.
Mince pies. A classic. Slightly misleading name for a dessert, but it’s not Christmas without them. And Cinammon Rolls, because they’re awesome. So while you’re family are all snoring in front of the TV after a big lunch, you can make your escape to the kitchen and begin the culinary creations. Let’s cook!
Baking Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas 4 and grease a shallow cupcake tray lightly with butter. Dust a clean surface and rolling pin with flour, then roll half the pastry out to the thickness of a pound coin. Carefully cut out 12 circles with a pastry cutter or a clean glass tumbler, then lay them in the hollows of the tray and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, spoon the mincemeat into a mixing bowl, breaking it up with a spoon as you go. Pour in the brandy, sherry or orange juice, then add the apple, ginger, dried fruits and mixed spice, then mix well.
3. Roll out the remaining pastry to the same thickness. Using a smaller cutter or tumbler than before, cut out another 12 circles – these will be the lids for your pies. Knead the pastry trimmings together briefly, roll out and cut into shapes to decorate the tops of your pies (stars and tree-shapes work well).
4. Take the pastry bases out of the fridge and fill them just over halfway up with mincemeat, then smooth the filling out to the edges. Beat the egg and milk together, then brush over the top edges of the pastry. Lay the lids over the top, then crimp the edges together with your thumb and forefinger so the lids stick to the bases. Top each pie with a cut-out shape, then brush once more with the egg wash. Bake in the hot oven for around 25 minutes, or until the pastry is cooked through and golden on top. Dust with icing sugar before serving, then dig in.
Baking Method
1. To make the dough, mix all of the dough ingredients together thoroughly to create a nice, smooth consistency.
2. Let the dough rest in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes. The dough will double in size in this time.
3. Roll the dough using a rolling pin. The flattened dough should be around 5-7 mm thick.
4. To create the filling, mix the softened butter, sugar and cinnamon.
5. To make the rolls, spread the filling equally across the dough then roll the dough up.
6. Cut up the rolled dough into to 2-3 cm long pieces and place the rolls on a baking tray, making sure to use baking paper to stop them from sticking. Let them rest for another 10 minutes before putting in the oven.
7. Bake them for 12-15 minutes at 185° C. Immediately remove the rolls from the pan a leave to cool on a rack for 5 minutes.
