These mince pies are so simple and delicious. Perfect to serve at Christmas or to give as a special gift. And the great thing about this recipe is that you can make the mincemeat and use it on the same day.
I will always cherish fond memories of my mother’s mince pies, smelling them as they baked in the oven. My brother and I would be my mum’s little helpers, we would sit at the kitchen table waiting patiently while mum made the pastry. Then one of us would fill them up with mincemeat and then the other would put the tops on. Once they were baked they were then stored in an old quality street tin. She wouldn’t just make them for us, she would make them for family, friends and for her work colleagues.

Roll out the remaining pastry and cut round with the smaller cutters to make the tops. Make two skewer holes at the sides of the tops.
