Is there a more loved Christmas bake than Mince Pies? This puff pastry version is so quick and simple to make. It will convert even mincemeat haters to the sheer joy that is these light, fluffy treats. Up to our eyeballs in wrapping and festivities, for me, this time of year isn’t one for grand, time-consuming bakes. But little shortcuts still let us pull something gorgeous and homemade from the oven and feel like we are nailing the festive baking. 🙌🏼 These are perfect with a cup of tea, or serve warm with ice cream for the festive pudding of dreams.
Why you’ll love this Puff Pastry Mince Pies recipe
⭐️ Just 4 ingredients ⭐️ Great fun to bake with children ⭐️ Light, fluffy and SO easy I wanted to come up with a mince pie recipe that took less than half an hour to throw together, had shortcut ingredients, but still had that homemade, straight-out-of-the-oven experience when anyone popped over. After testing, I discovered all this was possible with the help of ready-made mincemeat and shop bought puff pastry, which also allowed these to be light and flaky instead of dense and stodgy. Give them a go as an activity with the kids or to impress guests – you can enjoy these every year from now on!

To reheat, zap them briefly in the microwave or heat through in the oven. Serve warm with ice cream. Oh hello! Also, don’t overfill them as this will make the contents bubble out. All that said, I quite like a few crispy bits of mincemeat on the outside! Remove this from the fridge about half an hour before you want to use it if possible. This will make it softer and easier to handle. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations. If you’d like to share yours with me, you can tag me on Instagram (@tamingtwins).
