About Mincemeat Filo Crackers

These cracker-shaped treats make a light, novel alternative to traditional mince pies at X’mas.



INGREDIENTS
Makes 12 crackers

12 sheets filo pastry, each at least 15 x 30 cm (6 X 12 in)
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
400 gm ready-made luxury mincemeat
2 teaspoons icing sugar, sifted


To serve
Low-fat iced dessert, optional


1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius or 400 ºF.

2. Fold the sheets of filo pastry in half to make double-layered 15cm squares and brush a little oil around the edges to make a 5cm border.

3. Spoon 1 tablespoon of mincemeat along one half of each pastry square, stopping about 2.5cm short of the ends. Then roll each up loosely to form a cigar shape and place it, seam side down, on a nonstick baking sheet. Pinch in both ends then fan out the edges to form a cracker shape.


4. Brush any remaining oil over the surface of each cracker and bake them for 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown. Leave the crackers to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the baking sheet.

5. Dust the crackers with icing sugar and serve them warm, accompanied by a spoonful of low-fat iced dessert, if you like.

Awesome blog! I'm going to try this one, it seems like something I can do I was wondering if you had any no-bake dessert recipes? Thanks!

God, I love it when desserts look like cigars or cigarettes. Then I can feel cool while pretending to smoke.

It's hard to read that cyan font, though, on the salmon background...

Hope: Thanks for your comment! If you're after a no-bake dessert I seriously recommend you try out some tiramisu.
They're easy to make and gives your tastebuds a real treat.
I hope you find some recipes you like here: http://www.dessert.net.au/tiramisu-cake/

Cibbuano: They're cool aren't they? The cyan font works fine for me or maybe it's just my monitor. I try something else next time.
