Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.

5. Re-roll remaining pastry to 4-5mm thick. Cut out 12 stars using a 6cm star cutter and place on top of mince pies.

6. Lightly brush the top of each Mince Pie with a little milk and sprinkle on a pinch of demerara sugar to finish.

7. Bake in oven for 10-15 mins, or until pastry is lightly golden and mincemeat begins to bubble.

8. Remove from tin with a sharp knife and place on a wire rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
