Steps:

  • To make the pastry, rub the butter into the flour, then mix in the golden caster sugar and a pinch of salt.
  • Combine the pastry into a ball - don't add liquid - and knead it briefly. The dough will be fairly firm, like shortbread dough. You can use the dough immediately, or chill for later.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 18 holes of two 12-hole patty tins, by pressing small walnut-sized balls of pastry into each hole.
  • Spoon the mincemeat into the pies. Take slightly smaller balls of pastry than before and pat them out between your hands to make round lids, big enough to cover the pies.
  • Top the pies with their lids, pressing the edges gently together to seal - you don't need to seal them with milk or egg as they will stick on their own. Will keep frozen for up to one month.
  • Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg. Bake for 20 mins until golden. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then remove to a wire rack. To serve, lightly dust with the icing sugar. Will keep for three to four days in an airtight container.

  • To make the mince filling: In a small bowl, set aside 1/2 cup (67g) of the golden raisins and 1/3 cup (43g) of the currants. (These will be mixed into the filling later.), Place the remaining raisins (golden and regular), currants, chopped apple, mixed candied peel, grated orange and lemon rind, sugar, spice, and salt in the work bowl of a food processor. Process until finely minced, but not puréed.
  • Add the almonds and process briefly, just to break up the almonds., Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Stir in the golden raisins and currants that were set aside, then add the melted butter., Mix in brandy to taste., Cover tightly and store the mince filling in the refrigerator for up to a month, until ready to use., To make the crust by hand: Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the butter, mixing it in thoroughly until it looks like breadcrumbs. Drizzle in the water, tossing as you go, until you've added enough water so that you can squeeze the dough together and it's cohesive.
  • To make the crust using a food processor: Mix the flour, salt, and butter, pulsing till the mixture resembles fine crumbs. With the motor going, drizzle in the ice water, stopping when the dough comes together. It should hold together nicely; if it doesn't, add a bit more water., Divide the dough in half, and shape each piece into a disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight., When you're ready to prepare the tarts, remove the dough from the refrigerator. If it's been chilling for longer than 30 minutes, let it warm for 15 minutes or so, until it's rollable. Preheat your oven to 400°F., Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll it into a 10" circle, about 1/8" thick., Cut rounds of dough to fit your pan of choice. For a standard muffin pan, cut a dozen 3 1/2" circles (English muffin rings work well here). For a mini muffin pan, cut two dozen 2 1/2" circles (a small-sized biscuit cutter works well here)., Nestle the dough circles gently into the muffin cups
