Sweet mincemeat samosas

1. 1

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 180°C, following its fill limits. If using a deep heavy pan, fill it no more than one-third with oil and watch it throughout cooking.

2. 2

   Gently heat the butter in a small pan until lightly browned and nutty-smelling. Remove from the heat and stir in the nutmeg and cinnamon.

3. 3

   Cut each filo sheet lengthwise into three strips. Keep unused filo covered so it stays flexible. Brush the strips with the spiced butter.

4. 4

   Share the fruit filling among the 12 strips, placing it near one end with a small border. Fold a corner over the filling, then continue folding triangles along the strip. Seal the end with spiced butter and brush the outside.

5. 5

   Fry the parcels in small batches until crisp and golden, then drain on kitchen paper. Dust lightly with icing sugar and serve with the brandy cream. Makes 12; allow about 40 minutes overall.
