To make these you will need a 6 hole muffin tin. Use a cookie cutter with a slightly larger diameter than the muffin hole and create 6 pastry circles. Carefully press into the muffin holes.
Spoon in the minced meat until it’s slightly lower than the edges.
Cut out some pastry stars and place them on top. Brush with a little egg wash.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180c until the pastry is golden.
Allow to cool slightly and dust with icing sugar.
Notes
In an air-tight tin or container, these mince pies best eaten within three days.
