Method

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Rub the butter into the flour then mix in almonds, caster sugar, orange rind, and salt.

Add the egg yolk and water to form a soft dough then chill for 30 minutes in a bag.

Roll pastry to 3mm thickness and cut 18 rounds using a 7.5cm cutter.

Place rounds into greased tins and fill with mincemeat.

Cut festive lids from remaining pastry and place on top.

Brush tops with beaten egg and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.

Dust the finished pies with icing sugar.
