Mince Pies
Mince pies are one of our favorite snacks. This fun finger food has proven to be an eye catching party pleaser when entertaining guests. But be careful -- these fun sized pies are really addictive and can quickly take over dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked mince curry
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Use a rolling pin to lightly roll out your puff pastry
- Using a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry into rectangles for 9 pies. You can either cut 18 smaller halves or 9 larger pieces which can be folded
- Using a tablespoon, fill your cut pastries with about 2 tbsp of mince curry filling. Be sure to leave enough room to fold and seal the pies
- Use a fork to firmly press the edges of the pastry together to seal each pie
- Line a baking tray with greased wax paper. Transfer pies to the wax paper and using a kitchen brush, lightly coat the top of each pie with milk. This allows the pies to brown but keeps them soft
- Bake the pies at 390F for about 25 minutes or until golden brown
