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.

How we came up with this recipe

Making things from scratch and filling the home with Christmas scents is just so cosy and heartwarming on the run up to the big day, BUT we don’t have all the time in the world to bake and create. 

I wanted to come up with a mince pie recipe that took less than half an hour to throw together, had shortcut ingredients, but still had that homemade, straight-out-of-the-oven experience when anyone popped over.

After testing, I discovered all this was possible with the help of ready-made mincemeat and shop bought puff pastry, which also allowed these to be light and flaky instead of dense and stodgy. 

Give them a go as an activity with the kids or to impress guests – you can enjoy these every year from now on!

How to 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!

Puff pastry

Remove this from the fridge about half an hour before you want to use it if possible. This will make it softer and easier to handle.
