Ingreadient

• 2 x 320g packs Jus-Rol Shortcrust Pastry Sheet
• 410g jar Christmas mincemeat
• 1 tbsp semi skimmed milk
• icing sugar

Step by step

1. Unroll the defrosted pastry and cut 12 circles with a 8cm cutter. Use to line 12 holes of a shallow bun or cupcake tin. Cut 12 more circles using a 6cm cutter, re-rolling trimmings if needed.
2. Fill each pastry case with 2 heaped tsp mincemeat. Press the pastry lids on top, then brush with a little milk to glaze. Cut a slit in the top of each pie to let out the steam, then chill while the oven preheats to 200ºC, gas mark 6.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Cool briefly in the tin, then move to a rack. Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar.
