- 250 g of shortcrust pastry
Method
6 stepsStep 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.
