Gingerbread parcels

Recipe: Gingerbread parcels

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 ½ cups mix of whole and white spelt flour
• ½ cup arrowroot
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1tbs ground ginger
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 3tbs coconut oil- melted
• 1 tsp flax and 2 tbs hot water mixed
• 1/3 cup agave nectar plus ¼ tsp stevia
• 2 tbs molasses
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Half a jar of mincemeat- bought or (ideally) homemade

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Preheat oven to 180C. In a large bowl mix together dry ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.  Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet until you get a stiff dough. I didn’t feel that the dough needed time to chill, but feel free to chill for a short while if you feel it will make it more workable, particularly if a little sticky.
2. Roll out the dough using lightly floured parchment paper. Roll out to approx. 5mm thick and cut into squares approx. 8cm wide. Spoon a teaspoon of mincemeat mixture into the centre of each square and pinch the corners together sealing them at the top  to form a parcel (it’s simpler than it sounds!)
3. Bake for approx. 8-10 mins until they begin to colour at the edges. Cool completely and decorate with a dusting of icing sugar if desired.
