Gluten-free mince pies
Preparation time: 30 minutes | Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
Ingredients
- 200g Schär Mix It! Universal
- 15g caster sugar
- 100g butter
- 2 medium eggs
- 1-2 tbsp cold water
- 411g minced meat
- 1/2 Bramley apple
- Zest of one lemon
- 50ml orange juice
Method
- Add the Schär Mix It! Universal and the caster sugar to a bowl, cut the butter into cubes and rub into the mix. Make a well in the centre; add one of the eggs and water, and stir together to combine.
- Bring the pastry together to form a ball and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas Mark 4.
- While the pastry chills, add the mincemeat, grated apple, zest of the lemon and the orange juice into a bowl and mix.
- Once pastry has chilled, transfer to a work surface sprinkled with a little Schär Mix It! Universal and knead the pastry for 1-2 minutes or until pliable.
- Roll out the pastry to your desired thickness and use a round cookie cutter to make the pastry cases. Place half of the pastry cut outs in a muffin tin.
- Fill each pastry case with the mincemeat mix and top with another pastry cut out, either round or cut out to your desired shape.
- Brush with beaten egg and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the mince pies are golden brown.
- Dust with icing sugar before serving.
