Ingredients
- 300 g flour
- 150g butter
- 70g sugar
- 1 egg
- 250 g mincemeat fruit filling
Instructions
- Briefly knead the flour, cold butter, sugar and egg to form a shortcrust pastry. Cover and cool for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 190 °C top/bottom heat. Roll out the dough and line 12 muffin cups with circles; Reserve dough for lid.
- Use ready-to-eat sweet mincemeat fruit filling, not minced meat. Divide between the cavities and cover with pastry lids; leave a small steam opening in each case.
- Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing; the hot fruit filling may be more heated than the dough.
Tips
- Check the specified cooking using the result described; Time alone is not a safe test.
- Nicolaus says: "The messy kitchen does the tasting. Generously."
