Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Slowly drizzle the cold water over the dough mixture. Gently mix with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or a small bowl to cut out circles from the dough.
-
Spoon a generous teaspoon of mincemeat filling onto the center of each dough circle. Be careful not to overfill to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
-
Fold one side of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together with a fork to seal the pies securely. Place the sealed pies on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Lightly brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg. Sprinkle a pinch of turbinado sugar over each pie for a sweet, crunchy topping.
-
Bake the mincemeat pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let the pies cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
