Mini Mince Pie Puffs Recipe (1)

It wouldn't be Christmas without a mince pie (or ten!), and this cheats recipe for little bite sized mince pies couldn't be easier. The cute little mini pies are fun to make with children and perfect for parties, festive snacks or even to pop in a lunch box for a lovely Christmassy treat. Best of all, as they are miniature versions, you've got every excuse to eat more than onemince pie in a sitting!

Mini Mince Pie Puffs

Ingredients (makes around 30):

  • 1 320g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
  • ⅓ jar good quality ready made mincemeat
  • 1 egg

Method:

Preheatyour oven to 190°C (Gas mark 5/375°F). Line 2 baking trays with grease proof or baking paper.

Crack the egg into a small bowl and lightly whisk.

Unroll the sheet of pastry. Using a small cookie cutter*, cut out as many shapes as possible from the sheet,cutting each shape as close the previous one as possible to maximise the number cut.

Place half of the shapes on the lined baking trays,making sure there is plenty of space around each one. Lightly brush them all with the egg.

Topeach pastry shape with a small dollop of mincemeat - be careful not to use too much as it's easy to overfill them.

Take the other half of the pastry shapes. Lightly brush each one with egg, and place it, egg side down, on the mincemeat topped pastry. Gently press around the edges to seal.

Using a small fork, press all around the very edge of each shape to seal further. I'd recommend using a child's fork if you have one, for the smaller tines.

You may find that some of the filling escapes - I went around mine with a bit of kitchen paper to mop up the biggest bits, but it doesn't matter too much.

Lightly brush the top of each pastry with egg. Using the tip of a small sharp knife, cut a tiny cross into the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape.

Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until cooked through, puffed up and golden.

Serve warm or cold and enjoy!

NOTES:I used a small flower cutter for cutting m shapes, but a circle would work just as well. The cutter I used is about 3.5cm in diameter.
