Mince Pies

Ingredients

200g Juvela Gluten-Free White Mix
50g hard margarine
50g lard
Juice and rind of an orange
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten (one for glaze)
Mincemeat, for filling
Icing sugar, for glaze

Method

  1. Before you start, preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5.
  2. To make the pastry, place the Mix in a bowl and rub in the fats to resemble breadcrumbs. Stir in orange rind, beaten egg and sufficient orange juice to form a soft dough.
  3. Knead pastry well on a surface lightly dusted with Mix, then roll out 2/3 and cut out rounds to line tartlet tins.
  4. Place a spoonful of mincemeat in each. Roll out remainder of pastry and cut out desired shapes to complete pies.
  5. Brush with beaten egg and bake in a pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm dusted with icing sugar.
