Step 6: Spoon the mixture into the bases – do not over fill. Step 7 : Place the star shape tops on top of the fruit mixture (you do not need to use an egg wash it sticks on its own). This makes 12 mince pies. Step 8: Put into a preheated 180º C oven for 15 to 18 minutes until a nice golden colour. Once out the oven place on a cooling rack. When cool sprinkle with icing sugar. Now ready to enjoy! You can use short crust pastry – but with puff it was crunchy and you must enjoy immediately, with a cup of Five Rose’s Tea.
