Provided by Elaine Lemm

Categories     Dessert     Snack     Brunch     Pie

Time 1h20m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 9

For the Pastry:
350 grams all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting the work surface)
225 grams unsalted butter (or an equal mix of butter and lard; cold and cubed)
1 pinch salt
1 egg (beaten)
Water (cold, as needed)
For the Pie:
1 (776-gram) jar mincemeat (store-bought or homemade mincemeat )
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place the flour, butter, and salt into a large clean bowl.
  • Rub the butter quickly into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles rough sand.
  • Stir the egg into the mixture using a cold knife.
  • Add the cold water, a teaspoon at a time, and stir until the mixture binds but is not sticky.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for a minimum of 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F / 200 C / Gas Mark 6. Choose a muffin or bun tin for the size of the tart you want. Choose from a standard 12-cup muffin tin down to small canapé size. The number of pies will depend on the size of the tin you use.
  • Dust a work surface lightly with a little flour and roll out 2/3 of the pastry to 1/8 inch thick. Cut circles to line the cups of your tin; don't worry if the pastry doesn't come to the very top.
  • Fill the pastry-lined tins 2/3 full with mincemeat.
  • Roll out the remaining pastry to the same thickness and cut smaller circles to fit as lids on the tarts or, to be decorative, cut stars or other fancy shapes.
  • Dampen the edges of the tart bases with a little cold water and press the lids on. Make a small hole in the surface of each pie with a small sharp knife to allow the steam to escape.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes (15 minutes if making canapé-sized ones), or until golden brown.
  • Let cool and sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar.
  • Serve and enjoy.

TRADITIONAL BRITISH MINCEMEAT FOR CHRISTMAS MINCE PIES!



Traditional British Mincemeat for Christmas Mince Pies! image

A subtle blend of sweet and savoury with just a hint of alcohol which echoes the ancient practice of adding spice and fruit to meat dishes. I also have a "Boozy Fat Free" mincemeat recipe posted,Recipe #184762, but if you wish to make a mincemeat recipe with little or no alcohol, this is a wonderful traditional recipe for long lasting mincemeat. Mincemeat was always made at home before the advent of commercial brands, and although this is based on an old recipe, this was obviously made after the introduction of sugar into England. In earlier times mincemeat was a mixture of real meat, spices and fruit. The only remaining and symbolic ingredient of this ancient culinary practice is the inclusion of the suet - which can be beef or vegetable suet for vegetarians. Excellent in mince pies and all manner of steamed and sticky puddings! PS. If you cannot obtain suet locally, you can use grated butter instead; place the butter in the freezer until nearly frozen and very firm and then grate into the bowl straight away.

" TRADITIONAL" MINCEMEAT (FOR PIES)



I have 5 mincemeat recipes that I've used for making pies over the years, (4 of them are meatless). However my dad always preferred the "traditional" mincemeat pies and so do I. (I would be happy to post the "meatless" recipes on request). This is the Traditional (with meat) Mincemeat recipe that I made for many years. The only change I ever made in the original recipe was to substitute stew beef for the calves' tongues. Prep time includes the 4-6 weeks "standing" time.

  • You can follow the directions for this pie pastry tutorial. Cut the butter into the flour with two knives or a pastry cutter, then add the sugar and enough ice water, just so the pastry comes together without falling apart.
  • If you add too much water, the dough will be tough. If you are a more accomplished cook, you could add an egg yolk instead of the water, which yields an even tastier pastry.
  • Roll out the dough to about 1/4" and cut into rounds to place into cupcake tins or small tartlet tins.
