1 pack ready rolled puff pastry
2-3 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground mixed spice
1 tsp demerara sugar
Olive oil spread
2 glace cherries - chopped
1 egg - beaten
Method:
Thinly spread the olive oil spread over the pastry - ensuring it is completely covered right up to all the edges
Evenly sprinkle over the cinnamon and ground mixed spice
Lengthways cut the pastry in half
Starting with the longest edge carefully roll up each half of the pastry into a long thin sausage
Cut each piece into 1cm lengths
Dip each small whirl into beaten egg to fully coat
On a baking sheet, covered in parchment or greaseproof paper, arrange the small whirls into the shape of a Christmas tree
Ensure that all of the whirls that are at the outside edges of the tree shape have the open ends placed facing inwards
The whirls should all be touching, but do not push them together as they need space to spread out as they cook
Sprinkle the demerara sugar over the top of the assembled tree and place small pieces of glace cherry around the tree to resemble decorations
Cook at 160 degrees for about 30 minutes until all of the whirls are cooked and golden
The next time I try this I might use a mincemeat filling instead.
