Mincemeat or mince pie is a British delicacy for the holiday season that traces back to the kings and queens of the Middle Ages, or even earlier. The recipe was developed as a way to preserve meat, such as mutton or beef, without salt or smoke. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
Steps to make Mince Pie:
- Finely chop the dried cranberries and apple.
- Melt the butter. Juice the lemon and grate the peel.
- Combine all of the mincemeat ingredients in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, add the flour, powdered sugar, and butter diced into 2 cm cubes. Combine well until it becomes smooth and powdery.
- Add the egg and cold water to Step 4.
- Gather the dough in a ball and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Roll the dough 4mm thick. Cut out 7cm circles to use as the bottom crust for the pies, and cut out star shapes for the top crust.
- Line tart molds with the circular crust pieces and fill with the mincemeat. Cover with the star-shaped crust.
- Brush on an egg wash made of egg yolk and milk. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180°C.
- Once they cool, dust with powdered sugar to finish.
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. The filling for the mince pies typically uses suet, which is an animal fat. If you don't eat meat, look for a vegetarian version or make mincemeat using an alternative fat such as cold butter or shortening. Shortcrust pastry (used in this recipe) is a traditional mince pie case, but some like puff pastry.
