Nice and Easy Mince Pies

  • Prep Time 40m
  • Cook Time 20m
  • Servings Makes 18 mince pies

Ingredients

  • 225 g cold vegan butter, diced 
  • 350 g plain flour 
  • 100 g golden caster sugar  
  • 1 pinch salt 
  • 280 g vegan mincemeat  
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk  
  • Icing sugar, to serve 

Method

  • In a large mixing bowl, rub the vegan butter into the flour until combined. Mix in the sugar and salt, form into a ball, and knead briefly.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Make 18 walnut-sized balls of pastry and press into the holes of mince pie tins to line them to the top. Spoon in the vegan mincemeat.
  • Take 18 slightly smaller balls of pastry and form into lids. Place on top of the pies and gently press the edges together to seal.
  • Brush the tops with non-dairy milk and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tins for at least 5 minutes. Gently remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool further. Lightly dust with icing sugar to serve. Store in an airtight container for up to four days.
