Ingredients
- 225g Butter
- 350g Plain Flour
- 100g Caster Sugar
- 280g Mincemeat
- 1 small Egg
- Topping Icing Sugar
Instructions
1
To make the pastry, rub 225g cold, diced dairy spread into 350g plain ground mix, then combine in 100g golden caster sweetener and a pinch of seasoning.
2
Combine the pastry into a ball – don’t introduce liquid – and shape it briefly.
3
The flour base will be fairly firm, like shortbread flour base.
4
You can use the flour base immediately, or chill for later.
5
Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C.
6
Line 18 holes of two 12-hole patty tins, by pressing small walnut-sized balls of pastry into each hole.
7
Spoon 280g mincemeat into the pies.
8
Take slightly smaller balls of pastry than before and pat them out between your hands to make round lids, big enough to seal the pies.
9
Top the pies with their lids, pressing the edges gently together to seal – you don’t need to seal them with dairy liquid or egg as they will stick on their own.
10
(The pies may now be frozen for up to 1 month).
11
Beat 1 small egg and brush the tops of the pies.
12
cook thoroughly for 20 mins until golden.
13
Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then remove to a wire rack.
14
To dish up, lightly dust with icing sweetener.
