Time 45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

375g pack sweet shortcrust pastry
a little flour , for dusting
375g mincemeat
50g madeira cake
50g ground almond
25g caster sugar
50g butter , softened
1 egg yolk
3 tbsp candied peel
100g marzipan , finely diced
25g toasted flaked almond
icing sugar , for dusting

Steps:

  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and stamp out 12 roughly 8cm circles - you might need to re-roll the trimmings. Press into the holes of a 12-hole bun tin. Add a few tsp of the mincemeat to each pastry case.
  • Whizz the cake, ground almonds, caster sugar, butter and egg in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, then stir in the candied peel and marzipan. Divide between the tarts and scatter over the flaked almonds. You can cover and chill the unbaked tarts for up to a day, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pies for 20-25 mins until golden. Remove from the oven and dust with icing sugar. When cool enough, lift from the tin.
