Time 40m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
⅔ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
¼ cup ice water
¾ cup prepared mincemeat pie filling
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Sift together the flour, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and cinnamon. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to mix in the butter until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Stir in the orange zest. Sprinkle with ice water, and gather dough into a ball. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out approximately 18 (3 inch) diameter circles, and 18 (2 inch) circles, rerolling dough as needed.
  • Line muffin cups or tart tins using the 3 inch pastry circles. Fill each pastry cup with about 1 tablespoon of mincemeat filling. Top with 2 inch pastry circles, pinching circles together to seal the edges. Brush the top of each pie with egg.
  • Bake pies in preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly on wire racks. Dust with 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar just before serving.

I was a bit disappointed with these mini orange mince pies. The pastry was a bit too thick and dry for my taste, and the mincemeat was a bit too sweet. I think I would have preferred a more traditional mincemeat recipe.

I had some trouble getting the pastry to seal properly, so my pies leaked a little bit while they were baking. However, the flavor was still great. I think I'll try using a different recipe for the pastry next time.

These mini orange mince pies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar in the mincemeat. However, the pastry was very flaky and buttery, and the orange zest added a nice flavor.
