Christams is incomplete without Mince pies...I laways buy from shops , this time I made them at home using fillo pastry...turned out very well..here is the recipe

You will need :-

• 120 g Mincemeat
• zest of one orange
• few dried cranberries
• 1tbsp almond flakes
• 1 packet of fillo pastry
• icing suger for dusting
• 1 tbsp melted butter

Method:-
Preheat oven to gas mark 4-5. Take a cupcake tray and butter lightly. Take 4 sheets of pastry and place on top of each other, lightly butter them between each layer. Cut the pastry into 15 equal squares. Each square is now 4 layers thick.

 Use these squares to line the tin to make 12 pastry cases.Place small amount of mincemeat in each pastry case and bake them for 7-8 minutes or till light golden brown. Cool them on a baking tray and dust with icing sugar. Enjoy with cream or custard.
