Jar of MinceMeat
6oz Self Raising Flour
3oz Butter
Water to mix
Milk (To brush with)
Cooking time: 190c for approx. 20 minutes minutes
Serving: 6 people (10" round flan dish)
1. Grease the flan dish with butter and pre heat the oven
2. Put the flour and butter into a mixing bowl and rub in till it forms breadcrumbs
3. Add the water a tbsp at a time and with your hands mix the ingredients into a dough
4. Chill the dough for approx. 10 minutes this makes it easier to roll
5. Scatter a clean smooth surface with flour and a rolling pin (this prevents the dough from sticking to the surface)
6. Roll out the pastry so that it is approx 4 mm in depth.
7. Transfer this to the dish, the pastry should cover the bottom of the dish and come up the sides
8. Cut away any extra pastry
9. Empty the jar of mincemeat into the pastry case
10. With the left over pastry roll it out again and using cutters, cut out shapes or design your own to place on top of the mincemeat tart.
11. Using a bit of milk brush the shapes and around the edges of the tart, this helps the pastry to brown and go slightly golden.
12. Then put in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until piping hot and golden
13. You can either leave to cool and eat cold and reheat if wish or heat warm with a nice dollop of cream, ice cream or custard!
