Instructions
To Make the Dough
- Add the flour to a large bowl along with the sugar and yeast. Mix together until they are evenly distributed.
- Add the butter to the mixture and mix again. The mixture will be very dry and shouldn’t ball up. It should form breadcrumbs. Leave to one side.
- Heat the milk in the microwave on 20-second bursts until it is warm. You don’t want it to be boiling but it should have steam coming from the bowl. Alternatively, you can heat the milk up in a saucepan on a low heat.
- Add the milk, vanilla and egg to the dry ingredients and mix until they are all combined.
- Knead the dough together until it is lovely and smooth and springy to the touch. This can take 10-15 minutes so don’t worry just stick with it.
- Once you have kneaded your dough transfer it to a lightly oiled bowl and cover using cling film. You need to leave the dough to rise for 1-2 hours or until it is double in size.
To Make the Rolls
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a large rectangle, approximately 35cm x 25cm.
- Melt the butter in the microwave on 20-second bursts until it is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt it in a saucepan on a low heat.
- Brush the melted butter over the top of your dough. Sprinkle over the sugar ensuring that there is an even coating of sugar over your dough.
- Spread over the mincemeat, again making sure it is as evenly spread as possible.
- Roll the dough from the long side to the long side. Cut this evenly into 12 pieces.
- Place the rolls into your preprepared roasting tray so that they are not touching. Cover in cling film and leave to rise again. This will take around 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the rolls are touching.
- Towards the end of the dough rising preheat the oven to 180C (160C Fan).
- Bake your mince pie rolls in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool fully.
To Make the Icing
- Once your mince pie rolls are completely cooled in a bowl add the icing sugar, vanilla and 10ml of water and mix. Add the water 10ml at a time stirring in between each addition until the icing is thick and gloopy.
- Spread the icing over the top of your Mince Pie Rolls.
Notes
