Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather up these ingredients so you can get started:

1 cup of ready-made shortcrust pastry
1 cup of mincemeat filling
1 egg (beaten, for glazing)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions to Whip Them Up!

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is about the right temperature to bake those pies just right!
Roll out your shortcrust pastry on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick.
Use a round cutter to cut out circles of pastry. You’ll need about 12 circles for the base and 12 for the tops.
Grease a muffin tin with a bit of butter and place the pastry circles into each muffin cup, pushing them down gently.
Fill each pastry cup with a spoonful of mincemeat filling, making sure not to overfill them.
After that, take the remaining pastry circles and place them on top of the filled pastry, crimping the edges to seal them well.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them that nice golden color when baked.
Pop those beauties in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.

Time to Enjoy!
