Here's a quick and easy recipe for mince pies from Eve at a Healthy Slice of Happiness.

Not only are her pies tasty, but they're healthy too.

Ingredients

Serves 24.

Method

In a food processor, whizz butter and flour until it just comes together. If required, add a small amount of extra butter but no liquid. (If you don't have a food processor, rub the butter and flour together.)
Put the pastry in the fridge for at least an hour to firm it up.
Roll the pastry out to about 1cm thickness. Cut out circles big enough to line your cupcake tin. You will need 24 larger circles and 24 smaller for the lids.
Spoon mince meat into each case, about a teaspoon per case.
Top with the lids, pressing gently together as you place them on.
Using the beaten egg, brush each pie to glaze it.
Bake at 200 degrees c for approximately 20 minutes. When cool, dust with icing sugar.
Serve warm with cream and a glass of something festive!
