Ingredients
Pie crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup ice water
Mincemeat filling:
1 cup raisins
1 cup dried currants
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/2 cup candied mixed peel
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
1. Make the pie crust
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the mincemeat filling
In a medium saucepan, combine all the mincemeat filling ingredients and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined. Let cool to room temperature.
3. Preheat the oven and roll out the dough
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the pie dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 4-inch round cutter to cut out 12 circles. Repeat with the remaining dough.
4. Assemble the pies
Press the dough circles into the muffin tin cups, making sure they come up to the top. Fill each crust with 2 tablespoons of mincemeat filling. Use the remaining dough to cut out 12 smaller circles to use as the pie crust tops. Place the tops on the pies and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a small slit in the center of each pie to allow steam to escape.
5. Bake and serve
Bake the pies for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm with a dusting of confectioners' sugar on top.
With their rich and spicy filling and buttery pastry, these English mince pies are the perfect addition to your Christmas dessert spread. So why not try this traditional recipe and add a touch of English charm to your holiday celebrations?
