Mince Pies

As its Christmas time I thought I would have to make mince pies, so here is how I made them!

You Will need:

350g of Mincemeat

200g of Plain Flour

40g of Caster Sugar

75g of Ground Almonds

125g of Unsalted butter

1 Egg

Milk (to glaze)

Mix the flour, sugar, almonds and butter together in a bowl, so they look like breadcrumbs!

Mix in the egg and bring the mixture together with your hands.

Roll out the dough on a floured work surface and cut the dough, using cookie cutters, so half of the circles are bigger then the other half.

Place the smaller circles in a lightly buttered cupcake tin.

Add the mincemeat to the cups using a teaspoon.

Put the larger circles on top, glaze the top with milk and then stab with a fork.

Put in a preheated oven for 20 minutes at 190c.

Take out the oven and leave to cool or eat warm!
