Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 6 Tbsp mincemeat
  • icing sugar

FOR THE VEGAN EGG WASH: (See note 1 for substitution)

  • 1 Tbsp dairy-free butter  melted
  • 1 tsp dairy-free milk
  • 1 tsp maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
  • Line a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Using a pizza wheel or a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry sheet to measure 20 x 30cm (8x12 inch).
  • Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 equal squares of 10 x 10cm (4 x 4 inch). Place each square on the lined baking tray.
  • Leaving a circle of approximately 2.5cm (1-inch) diameter in the middle of each square, slit each corner to create 4 triangular sections. The slits should not meet in the center (see video or picture above).
  • Place 1 tablespoon on mincemeat in the middle of each square.
  • Fold every other corner of the triangular sections inwards to the center of each square. Flatten the dough in the center so that the pinwheel keeps its shape while baking. If needed spread the pinwheels out on the baking tray so that they do not touch while baking.
  • Make the egg wash: Mix together the melted dairy-free butter, milk, and maple syrup.
  • Brush the pinwheels with egg wash.
  • Bake in the oven for 13 to 15 minutes until golden all over.
  • Leave to cool down completely before dusting with icing sugar.

Notes

Note 1: instead of the vegan egg wash you can use
  • A regular egg wash: beat 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of  water or milk.
  • Milk + sugar: brush each turnover with milk and dust with granulated sugar.
