Ingredients

  • 200 g of mincemeat
  • 50 g of icing sugar, for dusting
  • 250 g of shortcrust pastry

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas 5.

  • Step 2

    Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and, using an 8cm round cutter, stamp out 12 circles. Use to line a lightly oiled bun tray. Press down lightly.

  • Step 3

    Using a teaspoon, fill each tart with equal amounts of the mincemeat.

  • Step 4

    Re-roll any pastry trimmings and stamp out star shapes to decorate the tarts, or simply leave them plain.

  • Step 5

    Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden. Carefully remove from the oven and allow to cool.

  • Step 6

    Serve lightly dusted with a little icing sugar or, if you like, add some snowflake sprinkles for some added festive flair.
