I make lots of mince pies, I think one can never have too many. I make these mincemeat pinwheels so often as a leisurely treat for brunch at the weekends. Although, they are fantastic served warm with ice cream or for the ultimate treat with my no - churn Christmas pudding ice cream as a simple and delicious dessert. Think warm strudel with flaky pastry. Good, right? But I'm very happy to eat them with nothing more than a mug of tea.
Heat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan. Line a baking tray with reusable silicone sheet or grease well with butter.
Unroll the can of croissant dough, make sure it is at room temperature otherwise you run the risk of the dough tearing. Spread the softened butter over the open side of the dough and sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon. Using a palette knife or a spatula spread the mincemeat over making sure to go right to the edges.
Roll the dough up into a scroll from the short edge. Using a sharp knife, slice into 6 even slices. Place on the baking tray and cook for 11 - 15 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool before gazing. When ready mix the icing sugar and water together to make a thick icing and drizzle over the pinwheels with a teaspoon.
