Ingredients
500g Block Shortcrust Pastry
Plain Flour For Dusting
300g Mincemeat
1 egg, beaten
Caster Sugar for sprinkling
Method
Roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin then, using an 8cm round pastry cutter, stamp out 12 circles.
Carefully push the circles of pastry into a non-stick muffin tray and spoon a little mincemeat into each one.
Preheat the oven to 200c/180c fan and cook for 15-20 minutes until golden.
Less Waste: Once cooled, place the mince pies into a Bacofoil® Zipper® Bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
When ready to eat, defrost and place on a baking tray lined with Bacofoil® Non-Stick Baking Paper and pop them in the oven for 6-8 minutes at 180c. Give them a few minutes more if heating from frozen.
