Method
Mincemeat
Mix all the ingredients together and store in an airtight container until ready to use.
For the Pastry (12 portions, 180°C, 15 minutes)
Blitz the butter, flour and ground almonds in a food processor until you get a crumbly texture. Then blitz in the orange and sugar. Slowly add the milk, while the motor is still running and until the ingredients come together to form a dough. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead if required. Rest for 10 – 15 minutes and then roll out. Cut out 12 discs sizes for the base of a bun tin and 12 discs to fit as the lids. Fill these with the mincemeat and cover with the lids, brushing the edges on the bottom side to help secure.
Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes and pop out onto a wire tray to cool. Server with custard or cream
