Instructions

Roll out a little over half the pastry on a flour-dusted surface to about the thickness of a 1 coin. Stamp out circles of pastry to line the holes of a 12-hole bun tin an 8cm cutter should be about right. Re-roll the trimmings until all 12 holes are lined.

All Purpose Flour

Roll

Spoon a little mincemeat into each, then roll out the remaining pastry with a little more flour. Use a 6cm fluted or plain round cutter to cut out 12 lids. Top the mincemeat with the pastry lids, push around the edges to seal, then poke 1-2 small holes into each to allow steam to escape. Wrap the whole tray well in cling film.
