How to make Homemade Mince Pies - Traditional Recipe.
*Timings.*
• Prep Time: 15 mins.
• Cooking Time: 20 mins
• Total Time: 35 mins.
*Servings.*
• Makes 12 mince pies.
*Ingredients.*
• 1¼ cup + 2 tbsp (225g/8oz) Plain/All Purpose Flour.
• ¼ cup + 2 tbsp (55g/2oz) Icing/Powdered Sugar.
• ½ cup + 2 tbsp (140g/5oz) Butter.
• 1 tbsp Cold Water.
• 1 Egg Yolk.
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice.
• 12 tbsp of Mincemeat.
• 1 Egg for Egg Wash.
See my recipe for homemade mince meat here:
*Oven Temperatures.*
Preheat the oven:
• Fan Oven: 160°C/320°F.
• Oven: 180°C/360°F.
• Gas Mark 4.
*Method.*
1. Place the plain flour, butter and icing sugar in a food processor. Pulse until fine crumbs form.
2. Add the egg yolk, water and lemon juice and pulse until a dough forms, about 10 seconds.
3. Knead the pastry a little on a floured work surface and wrap the pastry in cling wrap Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax before rolling.
4. Roll the pastry on a floured surface to a suitable thickness of ¼ inch.
5. Use a 3-inch round cutter cut out 12 circles.
6. Place into a greased bun/cupcake tin.
7. Fill with a tablespoon of mincemeat, around 3/4 of the way up. For homemade mincemeat check out my recipe.
8. Brush the edge of the pastry with egg wash and lay on another round pastry/pastry decoration on top, I use a 2 ½ inch cutter for the lids.
9. Seal the 2 pieces of pastry together with a fork or your fingers. This helps prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
10. Lightly brush the top of the mince pie with egg wash.
11. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
12. Allow them to cool for 15 minutes before removing them from the cupcake tin.
13. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm with whipped cream/brandy butter.

Vegan Mince Pie recipe:
To convert this recipe to cups instead of grams, I Googled and found that 100 grams of flour is roughly 7/8 cup of flour. I ended up using roughly 1.5 cups since her recipe called for 175 grams of flour and it worked perfectly. I also used 1/2 tsp of baking powder, about 1/2 cup of vegan butter, and 4 tablespoons of water.
This recipe made 6 pies.
