Vegan mince pies
Background
Nothing can beat homemade mince pies - and they're actually quite easy to make. The secret is to use homemade mincemeat. (Here are some excellent vegan mincemeat recipes ). As for the pastry, you can use vegan ready-rolled shortcrust pastry (available in most grocery stores) or use this vegan mince pies recipe to make your own.

Ingredients
- 125g plain flour
- 55g icing sugar
- 55g sunflower spread
- 1 jar mincemeat
- Icing sugar to dust
Instructions
- Sift the flour and icing sugar into a large bowl and crumble over the margarine. Using your fingertips rub the margarine into the flour until you have a mixture that resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Form a dough and wrap it in cling-film. Chill for minimum 15 minutes before using.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease a shallow cupcake or scone tin.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a pound coin. Cut out 12 circles with a pastry cutter (or a mug), large enough to fill the base of the tin holes. Gently press the disks into the holes and fill them with about 1 teaspoon of mincemeat.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is cooked through and lightly golden.
