2.Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Grease a 16-hole mini tartlet tin. Thinly roll out the pastry. Use a 6cm fluted pastry cutter to press out 16 circles and a 4.5cm fluted pastry cutter to press out another 16 circles. Re-roll the trimmings, if necessary. Line the tin with the larger circles. Fill each with a teaspoon of mincemeat and pop the smaller pastry lids on top.
3.Bake for 10-12 minutes. Dust with icing sugar and serve with a shot of good whisky.
