How to create three different Christmas party treats with our rapeseed oil pastry recipe
These are great way to use up leftover cheesy leeks from Christmas dinner. Simply cut out a pastry circle and fill with a heaped teaspoon of cold cheesy leeks. Fold the pastry case in half and then pinch it together around the outside edge to create a pasty. Brush the pastry with egg, then bake in the oven until golden brown.
Another great way to use up those Christmas day leftovers. Cut out a pastry circle with a biscuit cutter. Add a blob of cranberry sauce, followed by a thin slice of stuffing and then a mini pig in a blanket (sausage wrapped in bacon) then wrap the pastry circle around the outside of the sausage. Brush with egg and bake until the pastry is golden brown.
A fun twist on tradtional mince pies. These mince pie parcels are a delicious bite to have on your Christmas party buffet table. Roll out your pastry and cut it into equal sized squares. Add a spoonful of mincemeat, plus some chopped fruit to a pastry square, top with another pastry square, crimp the sides together and cut a slit in the top of each pastry parcel. Brush with egg then bake in the oven until golden brown. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy.
