EASY FRANGIPANE TOPPED MINCE PIES
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 200C / 180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F and grease a 12 hole cupcake tray with a little butter.
- Place the flour and the cubed butter in a mixing bowl and rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. (You can do this in a food processor if you prefer!)
- Slowly add the cold water 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture just starts to come together. Use your hands to form the mixture into a ball, but take care not to overwork the dough.
- Wrap the pastry dough in clingfilm (or similar) and place in the fridge until needed.
- Next, place the softened butter into a mixing bowl together with the caster sugar. Beat until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and beat again, then add the vanilla extract (if using) and the ground almonds, and stir to combine. This is your frangipane.
- Take the pastry dough out of the fridge and roll out until it is a little bigger than your cupcake tray.
- Carefully cut out circles of pastry with a fluted cutter that is 8cm (3¼inches) in diameter. Place the pastry circles in the prepared cupcake tray.
- Next place 2 teaspoons of mincemeat in each pastry case.
- Cover the mincemeat with 1 tablespoon of frangipane and scatter with a few flaked almonds.
- Place the mince pies in your pre-heated oven and cook for 18-20 minutes until brown on top and cooked through. (The frangipane should spring back slightly when you press it down lightly with a finger - take care not to burn yourself, though!).
- Leave the mince pies to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack.
- Finally, dust the mince pies with a little icing sugar (US - confectioner's sugar).
- Serve the mince pies warm or cold, on their own or with custard / cream / ice-cream.

Steps:
- Put the flour in a large bowl with 1/4 tsp salt. Add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mix looks like fine crumbs.
- Stir in the sugar, then slowly pour in the egg, stirring with a cutlery knife as you go to avoid any overly wet or dry patches. Scrunch to a dough with your hands, then knead briefly until smooth. Alternatively, pulse together the butter, flour and salt in a processor, then add the sugar and egg. Shape into 2 discs, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 mins (if you have time).
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Mix the prunes and Armagnac into the mincemeat and set aside. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface until 3mm thick, cut into circles with a 7.5cm or 8cm round plain cutter and gently press into 2 x 12-hole shallow, non-stick bun tins.
- For the topping, beat together the butter and sugar with a wooden spoon, then add the flour, ground almonds, eggs, almond extract and a pinch of salt, and beat until smooth.
- Spoon the mincemeat into the tin (about 1 dessertspoon into each). Spoon over the topping, then smooth it to the edges of the pastry with a palette knife. Scatter over the flaked almonds. Can now be frozen for up to 1 month.
- Bake for 25 mins from room temperature (or 30 mins from frozen) until the pies are golden, risen and the pastry feels firm at the sides. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins before transferring to a cooling rack. Dust with icing sugar to serve. Can be stored in an airtight tin for up to 3 days once cold.

- First make the pastry - Place the flour, confectioners' sugar and butter in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the orange zest and egg and pulse again until it just comes together (add a couple of drops of cold water if it's still too crumbly to come together).
- Place the pastry on a piece of lightly floured baking parchment. Squash together to form it into a ball, then roll it out to 1/4 inch thick with a lightly floured rolling pin.
- Place in the fridge to chill for 30-60 minutes (cover with clingfilm if leaving in the fridge for longer - up to two days).
- Whilst the pastry is chilling, make the frangipane. Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat it together with a wooden spoon or hand mixer for a couple of minutes – until it goes paler. Stir in the egg and almond extract until mixed, then stir in the ground almonds. Place in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.

- First make the pastry. Put the flour, ground almonds, icing sugar and butter in a food processor (or a freestanding mixer fitted with a paddle attachment) and pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs and starts to clump together a little.
- To make the frangipane, beat the butter and sugar together until very soft and aerated, then add the remaining ingredients with a pinch of salt. Mix to combine.
- To assemble, roll out the pastry to around 3mm thick on a lightly floured work surface. Using a 7.5–8cm/3–3¼in round cutter, cut out 24 rounds and use to line 2 x 12-hole fairy cake tins.
- Add a heaped teaspoon of mincemeat to each round of pastry, followed by a generously heaped teaspoon of the frangipane. Use a knife or spatula to spread the frangipane evenly over the mincemeat, adding a little more if necessary to seal round the edges, making sure the mincemeat is completely covered.
