- 15 15 g dairy-free butter, cubed
- 12.5 12.5 g icing sugar
- 50 50 g vegan mincemeat
- 0.33333333333333 0.33333333333333 Tbsp soya milk
- You will also need:
- 0.16666666666667 0.16666666666667 x 6-hole muffin tin
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/355°F/Gas 4. To make the pastry, add the flour, butter and icing sugar to a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl and bring together with your hands, being careful not to overwork the pastry. If the pastry seems too wet add a little more flour, if it’s too dry add a little water. Once pastry is formed, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Remove pastry from fridge and roll out 4-5mm thick. Line the inside of the muffin tins, then fill the pastry with the mincemeat. With a pastry cutter, cut out stars from the remaining pastry, and place these on the top, brushing with the milk to glaze. Place into the oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is cooked through and crisp.
