I have my entry ready for this fun Blogging Challenge 'Teatime Treats' hosted by Kate at 'What Kate Baked' and Karen at 'Lavender and Lovage'. This month the theme is 'Christmas'.
My Festive little offering is a newly invented creation by moi and let me tell you they have gone down a storm in this house. Let me reveal...in true Willy Wonka genius style (apart from there is no Chocolate!)
'Mince Pie Somosas.' Yeah Baby Yeah!
These are a cheeky little twist on the old Festive favourite. If you are greedy then can be eaten in one substantial mouthful, if you are more demure, you can have two tasty little bites, or just go how the mood takes you! They are delicious hot or cold.
Ingredients
250g of Plain Flour
1 egg (from your bestest clucky friends) Separate the egg.
2tbls of vegetable oil
Water to make a dough
1tsp of ground mixed spice
Filling
1 Jar of Mincemeat
Method
Add the egg yolk, oil and spice to the flour, mix quickly to make a breadcrumb like mixture. Add enough water to make a smooth dough. Roll out onto a floured surface, to about 3mm thickness. Cut out Circles and cut each circle in half. Using the egg white to seal the Somosas wrap the semi circle into a cone, place 1tsp of the Mincemeat inside the cone and use more egg white to seal the edge by pinching. Deep fry in small batches until golden. Drain on Kitchen Paper and sprinkle with Caster Sugar.
