Mince Pies

I know it's not even December yet but mince pies have been in the shops since August and I gave in and bought some the week before last.

There were jars of mincemeat on special offer when I went shopping last week and I gave in and bought some and made my first batch of pies at the weekend.

I used the following pastry recipe:

50g icing sugar
125g butter
1 egg yolk
175g plain flour

You cream the butter and sugar together, add the egg yolk and mix it in and then add the flour.

Unfortunately I baked them for a little bit too long and the Tesco Finest mincemeat is a little sweet for my taste but they're still OK.
