Festive baking

I have found a cheap, quick, low fat and practically fool proof way to make mince pies.

All you need is a pack of ready made filo pastry sheets, a jar of mincemeat and some milk.

Get a sheet of filo pastry and fold it in half. Cut it into 4 and place a teaspoon of mincemeat at one end. Flatten it out and then roll up the pastry like a cracker. Pinch the ends and repeat until all the pastry and mincemeat are used up (should you run out of mincemeat substitute with jam - especially if the Boyfriend has recently purchased some fancy stuff from Borough Market).

Place on a baking tray and brush with milk. Bake for 8-10mins until golden brown.

Leave to cool as molten mincemeat is hotter than the sun.
