Traditional Coventry Godcakes (Given by God Parents to their God Children on New Years Day) - Mentioned by Chaucer
  Ingredients:

8 oz Puff Pastry

Filling (Mincemeat) Straight from the Jar or make your own:
4 oz Butter
4 oz Candied Peel or Grated Lemon Peel
8 oz Currants (these sometimes contain seeds if like me you don’t like these substitute sultanas)
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Mixed Spice
2 tsps Rum (Optional)
2 oz Demerara Sugar
Beaten Egg for sealing and glazing
Caster Sugar (For sprinkling over to finish)

Method:
In a saucepan melt the butter then add the peel, currants, cinnamon, mixed spice, rum and demerara sugar leave until cool.

Roll out the pastry and cut into 6 inch squares, spoon the mixture into the squares being careful not to over fill them. Using a little of the beaten egg to seal, fold the pastry into triangles. Place a couple of cuts into the pastry to vent and dust with the caster sugar. Place into a preheated oven at 220 °C / Gas Mark 7 for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
