Mince pies using your Mitt!

To start off the festive season we've created a how-to use your Mitt to make Mitt-licious mince pies.

What you need:

Mitt Tools:

• Rotating tool

• Rolling pin tool

• Knife tool

• Gripper tool

Ingredients:

• 360g plain flour

• 250g unsalted butter

• 120g caster sugar

• 1 egg (plus another for glazing)

• 1 large jar of mince meat

• 2 satsumas

• 1 apple

Step 1

• Pour 360g of flour into the bowl.

• Add 250g of room temperature, unsalted butter to the bowl of flour.

Step 2

To make the pastry, rub 225g cold, diced butter into 350g plain flour.

Mitt Tip:

Use your rotating tool to hold a wooden spoon and use that to help you crumble the pastry!

Step 3

• Add 120g of caster sugar and one egg to the crumbled mixture and mix it all together.

• Tip the mixture onto a floured surface and fold the pastry together.

• Wrap the pastry in clingfilm and put in the fridge for around 15 minutes.

• Preheat the oven (220C/200C fan/gas 7).

Step 4

Peel the satsumas and chop the apple and satsuma very finely.

Step 5

• Get the pastry out of the fridge

• Place the pastry on a lightly floured surface.

• Use the rolling pin tool to roll out the pastry to around 3mm thick.

• Make sure the pastry doesn't stick to the surface by flipping it round or adding more flour when necessary.

Step 6

• Mix the finely sliced apple and satsuma with the mince meat in a bowl.

• Use a round cutter to cut the pastry and place inside a muffin tray.

• Scoop the mince meat into the pastry.

• Use a smaller round cutter for the pastry lids and place them on top of the mince meat.

Step 7

• You can create any pattern you like on top of your mince pies by cutting it out of the lid or cutting out an extra piece of pastry.

• Once you are happy with your mince pie design, glaze with egg and put into a preheated (220C/200C fan/gas 7) oven for 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy!
