- 320 g Puff pastry sheet See notes
- 1 Egg
- 175 g Mincemeat See notes
- 2 tbsp Caster sugar
Preheat the oven to 200C.
Score the pastry sheet into 12 rectangles. Brush one half of each rectangle with beaten egg.
Add a spoonful of mincemeat where the egg wash is. Fold the part without any egg wash onto the mincemeat dollop and seal with a fork (the egg wash seals the edges).
Brush the top with more add and sprinkle over the sugar.
Bake in the hot oven for about 10-15 minutes or until golden.
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.
Mincemeat: Any type of sweet mincemeat you like is fine.
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.
Shelf life: 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 perk them up again.
To freeze: For best results, freeze them unbaked, defrost again and bake when you're ready. You can also freeze these baked.
