Notes

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.
