It's been ages since I've written a new recipe on here, but I've been really busy with school. I have been baking though, in fact, I made a Dorset Apple Cake, Victoria Sponge and Cinnamon Shortbread. But I'm back with something festive, that I think you'll love. Mince Pies!
Now, I didn't make the pastry myself as the mince pies I made are to take to the pheasant shoot tomorrow. I decided to use Sainsbury's sweet shortcrust pastry and I also had a packet of Jus-Roll on standby.
I began by buttering the mince pie tin (Yorkshire pudding tin) and rolling out the pastry until it was quite thin but not so thin that it broke.
I used a flower peaked cutter to shape the case of the mince pie and placed each flower inside a hole in the tin.
Using two teaspoons, I pushed an even amount of mincemeat into the holes.
Mmmmmm
To top the mince pies, I opted for a small star cutter and the same sweet pastry I used before.
I egg washed each mince pie to give them a nice shiny glaze once baked.
To finish, icing sugar.
Festive Mince Pies!
I hope you enjoyed this really easy recipe, I enjoyed making them! See you soon,
