These are a great festive treat with the great taste of mincemeat mixed with a whirl of puff pastry.

Preheat your oven to: 200 C / gas mark 6
Gather these ingredients:
500g puff pastry
small jar of mincemeat
1 egg yolk (optional but reccomended)
Handful of self raising flour
Optional: Cinnamon

Spread the flour over your workspace, roll out the flour so it is relatively rectangular. I made mine about 0.9cm thick.
