1
Preheat your oven to 200u00b0C.
2
Rub together the flour and butter (or whizz up in a food processor).
3
Add the sugar and salt and mix thoroughly.
4
Knead the mixture together. Don't add any water. You'll think there's no way it's ever going to stick into a ball, but it will after a few minutes of kneading.
5
Take walnut-sized balls of the pastry and push them into the holes of a 12-cake cupcake tin, forming them into case shapes.
6
Fill each with some of the mincemeat.
7
Form lids for each pie from a slightly smaller ball of dough, patted out flat to fit. Push the edges onto the sides of the case - they will stick together without the need for any egg or milk.
8
At this point, you can freeze the pies until needed.
9
Brush the tops with the beaten egg and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden.
10
Serve hot or cold, dusted with icing sugar, with lashings of brandy butter.
