Start by making your sweet pastry. In a mixing bowl mix your fat into your flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and mix well. Add a little warm water at a time while mixing at the same time until your mixture makes lovely soft dough.
Roll out your pastry using a little extra flour to stop it sticking. Place pastry into each of the pastry cases that you’re using. Then fill each one with mince meat.
Add another layer of pastry on top and then slit with a knife so that the mince pies have room to breathe. Brush the top with egg.
Place in the Air Fryer for 12 minutes at 180c.
Notes
Never fill the mince pies with more than ¾ meat, otherwise they will explode and be over full once cooked.
