INGREDIENTS
Method
-
Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C.
-
Have a 12 hole tart tin ready and take your
Galberts ready rolled shortcrust pastry out of
the packaging 10-15 minutes before you are
ready to use it.
-
Unroll the pastry and using a 7.5cm/3” cutter
cut out 12 circles, line the base of the tin and
brush with beaten egg.
-
Combine the chocolate chunks, cranberries
and mincemeat and place a teaspoon of the
mixture into the centre of each pastry circle.
-
Cut out 36 smaller stars with a star pastry
cutter, or cut 12 more circles to use as lids.
(You may find that you are only able to cut 10
discs from the first sheer. Simply re-roll the off
cuts to make 12).
-
Place on top of the bases, then seal the edges
and brush the tops with water and sprinkle
with icing sugar.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes in the oven until golden
brown.
-
Sprinkle with icing sugar and allow to cool
before serving
