Mince Pies
Ingredients:
350g plain white flour
225gg butter
100g caster sugar
450gg jar mincemeat (apple)
caster sugar to dust
Makes 12 pies
Method:
Sieve the flour into a bowl and stir in the sugar.
Rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Continue to rub in until the shortbread binds together.
If the mixture is soft and sticky wrap and chill for half an
hour.
Roll out and cut 12 circles not too thinly to line the bun tins.
Re roll the shortbread and cut out 12 tops. Stars and bells are
good festive shapes. Line the tins spoon in 1 dessertspoonful of
mincemeat do not overfill.
Top with the shaped lids. Bake directly on the floor of the
roasting oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and dust immediately with caster sugar (it
will stick on better when the mince pies are hot).
