Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup of cold water
- 1/2 cup of mincemeat
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
-
Gradually add the cold water a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
-
Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
-
Using a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut out circles from the dough and press them into a greased muffin tin, forming the pie crusts.
-
Fill each pie crust with about a tablespoon of mincemeat.
-
Roll out the remaining dough and cut out smaller circles to use as the pie lids. Place the lids on top of the mincemeat and press the edges to seal.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
-
Allow the mince pies to cool slightly before removing them from the tin.
-
Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
