I like pastry and I like Mincemeat, but often leave the pastry lid. Here is a nice change:
Mincemeat Buns:
12 oz mincemeat
8 oz currants
2 eggs
5oz caster sugar
5oz soft butter or marg
8 oz S.R.Flour
32 Paper cake cases.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and beat for 2 mins.
Divide the mixture evenly in 32 cases, or into bun tins if preferred.
Bake in a heated oven 160c, 325f, Gas 3. Cook for 25 - 30 minutes until golden and springy. Transfer to cool.
This is a good way to use up left over mincemeat, I add some old to some new, if I think it needs it add a very small drop of /Sherry/Brandy or whatever, if the mincemeat looks very dry. You can also add a few chopped nuts, or angelica.
Hope you like them. regards, Mrs Bouquet
