Combine the pastry into a ball โ donโt add liquid โ and knead it briefly. The dough will be fairly firm, like shortbread dough.

- #How_to_Baked_Mince_Pies - - Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Line 18 holes of two 12-hole patty tins or muffin tins, by pressing small walnut-sized balls of pastry into each hole. Spoon 280g mincemeat into the pies.
- Take slightly smaller balls of pastry than before and pat them out between your hands to make round lids, big enough to cover the pies. Top the pies with their lids, pressing the edges gently together to seal โ you donโt need to seal them with milk or egg as they will stick on their own. If you like your pie star top use star cookie cutter (The pies may now be frozen for up to 1 month).
