Directions

In a mixer with a paddle, mix the butter and sugar then add half the sifted dry ingredients. Mix until a paste then add the rest of the dry ingredients.  Scrape down the bowl. Add in the chilled cream and mix just enough to make a smooth dough.  Wrap dough in cling film and rest for half an hour in the fridge. On a lightly flour dusted bench roll the pastry out to ½ cm, cut out 8cm discs.

To make the mincemeat mix all the prepared ingredients together. Then put a tablespoonful of mincemeat in the base then pipe frangipane to cover the fruit.

#DishWithTish - One of our most popular pies, this comes with a little porcelain bird chimney to let the steam out at @thebuildersarmschelsea – it’s old school, but our customers love it!

Chef Director @ben.tish says "mash is a must, and I think this is delicious served with some freshly steamed broccoli. In early spring, you could throw a handful of wild garlic into the filling mixture; or in the winter, a grating of fresh black truffle!"
