The easiest and most delicious Puff Pastry Mince Pies recipe. Just 3 ingredients are between you and this Christmas classic bake!
Is there a more loved Christmas bake than Mince Pies?!
This Puff Pastry version is so quick and simple to make. It will convert even mincemeat haters to the sheer joy that is these light, fluffy treats.
Up to our eyeballs in wrapping and festivities, for me, this time of year isn’t one for grand, time consuming bakes. But little shortcuts to still let us pull something gorgeous from the oven and feel like we are nailing the festive baking. ππΌ
Perfect with a cup of tea, or serve warm with ice cream, for the festive pudding of dreams.
You’ll love this Puff Pastry Mince Pie recipe because:
β Just 4 ingredients.
β Great fun to bake with children.
β Light, fluffy and SO easy π
How long do these mince pies last?
These are best within 24 hours of baking.
If you do want to eat them the day after, heating them a little in the oven or the microwave will bring perk them up again.
How do you stop the mince pies from leaking?
Be sure to seal the edges of the pies with some egg (or milk) and press down lightly with a fork.
Also, don’t overfill them as this will make the contents bubble out.
All that said, I quite like a few crispy bits of mincemeat on the outside.

I do love Christmas themed food! π I’ve got a few ideas up my sleeve over the next week or so too – hopefully they’ll turn out. Thank you for featuring my Santa’s Mintshake! π
That mint shake looks amazing! π
I wish I liked mince pies! These look delicious
I love the idea of using puff. I have some in the freezer so might make these at the weekend rather than bother with making more pastry! Love the video. You and Em have perfect hair, as a little side note! xx
Thank you for including us on your round up! Love the mince pies vlog!
Your mince pies look yummy. I’ve never thought to try them with puff pastry, what a great idea! xx
Ha ha, great minds think alike! I was going to link a new mincemeat recipe and puff pastry pies after seeing Julie’s post. I didn’t manage to post it yet. Next week. hey! Love the little video. The girls are so cute squashing the sides with their forks. I have just linked my easy truffle recipe from months ago; it makes a nice homemade pressie for teachers. x

I really wished I liked mince pies – soooo Christmassy x
Lovely idea for mince pies! I’ve added my recipe just now. Fab for inspiration xx
Oooo Sarah, these look delish! I wish I could get gluten-free puff pastry. It does exist but is only sold in Asda and we don’t have an ASDA!
Love the look of those mince pies – something a bit different and easy too π
Hi Sarah, just watched your ace YouTube clip. Well done, it was brilliant. The mince pies look really lovely too. xx
Great job with your movie! π Haha! Laughing with recognition at what was going on in your kitchen… Who is going to end up with the pizza knife anyway!! π
Thanks for hosting.
Finally finished another Christmas recipe so I’m back. I love your mince pie, I’ve gone traditional with mine as this is my first Christmas blogging, but I love puff pastry so I’m definitely going to try something like this.
Right, off to have a look at some of the other posts and extend my Christmas cooking list even further.
I love the look of these easy mince pies, I must whip up a batch as Christmas looms nearer!
