Mince pies are a Christmas tradition in the U.K. My brother taught me this recipe for mini mince pies and I love it, so I decided to share this wonderful recipe with you.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 3/4 cup prepared mincemeat pie filling
- 1 large egg, beaten
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Sift together flour, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and cinnamon. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to mix in butter until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Stir in orange zest. Sprinkle with ice water and gather dough into a ball. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out approximately 18 (3-inch) diameter circles, and 18 (2-inch) circles, re-rolling dough as needed.
Step 3
Line muffin cups or mini tart tins using the 3-inch pastry circles. Fill each pastry cup with about 1 tablespoon of mincemeat filling. Top with 2-inch pastry circles, pinching circles together to seal the edges. Brush the top of each pie with egg.
Step 4
Bake pies in preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly on wire racks. Dust with remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar just before serving.
