Time 1h

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 5

500g block all-butter puff pastry
flour , for dusting
450g mincemeat (see 'goes well with')
1 egg white , lightly beaten
golden caster sugar

Steps:

  • Roll the pastry out to about the thickness of a 50p piece on to a floured surface, and cut out 10cm circles, then continue to re-roll and cut out until you have about 18 circles.
  • Place 1 tsp of mincemeat in the centre of each circle, brush the edges with egg white, then gather together tightly to completely encase the mincemeat.
  • Flip the pies over so the sealed edges are underneath, then squash them with your hand so you have a small puck-shaped pie.
  • Cut two small slits in the top of each pie, brush generously with egg white and scatter with sugar. The pies can now be frozen for up to 2 months. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and bake for 15 mins from raw or 25-30 mins from frozen.
