Equipment

  • 12 hole Muffin Tin
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients

Shortcrust Pastry

  • 150 g butter - plant-based, cold, diced
  • 260 g plain flour
  • 50 g sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 1-2 tbsp cold water
  • 280 g mincemeat - I used my own

Glaze

  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 2 tbsp Soy Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180C.
  • Mix together the vegan butter, flour, sugar and pinch of salt until a sandy texture is achieved.
  • Gradually add the cold water, a little at a time and use a knife to cut into the dough until it starts to come together. This could take up to 2 tbsp water, maybe a little more or less.
  • Bring the dough together with your hands.
  • Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Once the dough is chilled, roll out on a well floured surface to about 3mm thick..
  • Cut out circles using a cutter that is larger than the bottom of the holes in your tin. Press a circle lightly into each hole, gently working it up the sides.
  • Fill with a generous spoonful of mincemeat.
  • Top with a pastry star (or any other shape), brush with the glaze and sprinkle with some caster sugar.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Leave to cool and gently turn out using a small spatula to work them out.

To make the glaze

  • Whisk together the milk and maple syrup until mixed.

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
