Method
-
step 1
Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. To make the frangipane, beat together the butter and sugar using a wooden spoon or electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Add the almonds, flour, egg, almond extract and citrus zest (if using), and beat until smooth.
-
step 2
Unravel the shortcrust pastry and, using a 8-9cm pastry cutter or glass, stamp out as many circles as you can. Re-roll any off-cuts and continue until you have 12 pastry circles.
-
step 3
Push the pastry circles into the holes of a 12-hole non-stick bun or muffin tin, and press gently up the sides. Spoon 1 tbsp of the mincemeat into the middle of each (don’t be tempted to add more, as you need room for the frangipane).
-
step 4
Spoon over the frangipane and carefully spread out using a teaspoon, then scatter over the flaked almonds.
-
step 5
Bake for 20-25 mins or until the mince pies are risen and golden. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then remove from the tin and cool completely on a wire rack. Lightly dust with icing sugar before serving, if you like.
