ORANGE AND ALMOND CRUMBLE CHRISTMAS MINCE PIES
Delicious little pies that combine an orange short crust pastry base with mincemeat filling and an almond crumble topping. Serve these warm with whipped cream or brandy butter. This recipe can be made in to one large pie - but I still prefer the dainty individual mini pies! I have two mincemeat recipes posted that can be used in these pies, if you are unable to source good quality commercial mincemeat locally. Recipe #257241 or Recipe #184762. Don't forget to leave a couple out for Father Christmas on Christmas Eve!

Steps:
- Make the pastry in a large bowl or food processor by blending the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the sugar and orange zest and then 2 tbsp water.
- Bring the mixture together with your hands, adding a few more drops of water if it feels a little dry.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/375F/gas 4.
- Roll out half the pastry (keep the other half wrapped in the fridge) on a lightly floured surface. You want the pastry to be very thin, so it is crisp when cooked.
- Cut out 12 circles of pastry with a plain 6cm cutter (you will need to re-roll the pastry a couple of times) and use to line a 12-hole, non-stick cup cake or mini muffin tin.
- (It is quite a soft pastry, so any little gaps that form as you are lining the holes can easily be patched up.).
- Chill while you make the topping.
- In a small bowl, make the crumble topping by rubbing the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and almonds.
- With a teaspoon, fill each pastry case with mincemeat, gently pressing it down to leave room for the topping.
- Sprinkle the topping over each pie, place the tin on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes or until the topping is golden.
- Leave the pies to cool in the tin before taking them out carefully. They are fragile when hot, so use a small knife to help lift them out.
- Unless you have two tins, repeat the process with the second batch of pastry, filling and topping.
- Eat the mini mince pies warm or cold, lightly dusted with icing sugar and served with whipped cream or brandy butter.

- Put the flour, caster sugar and ground almonds in a large mixing bowl with a small pinch of salt. Add the butter and rub into the flour mixture to give a course breadcrumb texture. Stir in half the beaten eggs and the the orange zest with a wooden spoon or dough scraper until it just comes together. Bring the pastry together in the bowl and shape into a fat disc. Wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hour. Alternatively, put the flour, sugar and almonds in a food processor and mix to combine. Add the butter and pulse until just combined. Add 1 egg and the orange zest, then pulse again until just combined. Chill for 1 hour.
- Heat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan/gas 6. Roll out the dough on a lightly dusted surface to a 3mm thickness. Cut out 12 x 9 circles and use them to line the holes of the prepared tin. Spoon 2 teaspoonfuls of mincemeat into each pastry case, then lightly brush the rims with a little of the remaining beaten egg.
- Cut out 12 x 8 cm circles from the remaining pastry and place them on top of the mince pies, lightly pressing the edges down to seal. Cut 3 small slights in the top of each pie with the tip of a sharp knife, then brush the tops with beaten egg. Chill for 10 minutes in the freezer. Scatter with demerara sugar, then bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is lightly golden. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, put on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes, then serve.
