1 tsp ground cinnamon

170g mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants etc as you like)

115g icing sugar mixed with 2-3 tsp boiling water

Method:

1. Oven 200C/400F/gas mark 6.

2. Unroll the pastry or croissant dough and lay it out in a long strip or sheet .

3. Brush with melted butter. Mix cinnamon with sugar and sprinkle evenly over pastry,

4. Add mixed fruit in an even layer then roll up the pastry

4. Cut evenly into 24 mini logs. Arrange them on their sides on a flat stone like a Christmas Tree, but do not arrange them too close together:
