Mince Pies

Place the mincemeat ingredients into a saucepan and stir.  Simmer for about 25-30 minutes, until the fruits are soft.

Lightly coat a round pan with any oil of your choice 

In a large bowl mix the milk, brown sugar, melted butter and salt. Add the yeast on top and allow the mixture to turn frothy for around 5-10minutes (if this does not happen you might need to use different yeast)

Mix in 1 cup of spelt flour and add more if the dough is wet. Continue to add flour until the mixture can be formed into a dough. 

Knee the dough for 2-3minutes or until the dough springs back. Let the dough sit aside for 10-15minutes 

Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a small bowl without the unsalted butter. Melt the unsalted butter and set aside 

On a clean surface, roll out the dough into around 10cm x 10cm and brush the melted butter alongside the dough

Sprinkle the filling onto the dough, covering all the surface 

Roll the dough into a log and pinch the ends to seal 

Slice the dough into 12 pieces using a really sharp knife and send within the pan, cover with a clean towel and allow the rolls to rise for 40minutes

Preheat the oven to 180degrees and bake for 15-20minutes 

Cool for a few minutes before serving
