Mince Pies

I love a good mince pie and they'll forever be my favourite Christmas treat. I know some people aren't fans but when you try this recipe it will change your mind. The buttery pastry we use really sets them apart from anything from a shop and it's worth the effort. My Nanny always says a good quality mince meat from the shop is just as good but be sure to make the pastry, that makes all the difference!

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Sift your flour and salt into a large bowl, also adding your butter. Work the butter delicately through the flour and salt with your fingertips. Lifting it up allowing the air to get into it, you want to achieve a light crumb consistency. Now add the caster sugar, gently sifting through the mixture with your fingertips. Gradually add your beaten egg, mixing in with a fork. We also added a tbsp of chilled water, you want all the ingredients to come together into a smooth pastry, (add slightly more water if needed). Use your hands to bring this together into a ball, wrap in clingfilm and chuck into the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
