Festive Mince Pies a UK Christmas tradition

For the Pastry

8 oz plain flour

2 oz ground almonds

5 oz butter chopped into small pieces

grated rind of 1 orange

2 oz caster sugar

1 egg yolk

For the Filling/Decoration

8oz mincemeat

1 egg white lightly whisked

caster sugar for dusting

Preheat the oven to 390 degrees. Blend the flour, almonds, butter , orange rind sugar into crumbs. Add the egg yolk and a teaspoon of cold water, and pulse until it forms a dough. Place in surround wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough thinly and using a circular cutter, stamp out 18 x 3″ rounds and place them in bun tins. Put a teaspoon of mincemeat into each pastry case. Stamp out the remaining pastry dough to make covers for each case. You can also cut festive shapes for the covers if you are feeling creative!

Place covers or shapes over each pie, brush the top with egg white and dust lightly with caster sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden. Then remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

Pour yourself a mulled wine, sherry, or egg nog, put your feet up by the fire and enjoy a great Christmas treat with a dollop of cream! In England, children leave a mince pie for Santa, they are his favorite too!
