Stollen Mince Pies Recipe

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a muffin tin.

In a large bowl, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the caster sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.

Add the beaten egg and milk to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. Knead lightly on a floured surface until smooth.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3mm and cut out circles of pastry to fit your muffin tin.

Spoon a tablespoon of mincemeat into each pastry case.

Cut out festive shapes from the remaining pastry and place on top of the mincemeat.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

Allow to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with icing sugar before serving.
