Gluten Free Mince Pies Recipe

I seriously cannot imagine Christmas without mince pies. Living in the States at the moment, it can be quite hard to find mince meat. Thanks to the World Market, I was able to get couple of jars this year and jumped right into baking! This is also the first Christmas of my gluten free journey. I decided to simply substitute the plain flour for gluten free rice flour and it worked! 

Without further ado, here’s the recipe:

Gluten Free Mince Pies

Adapted from a recipe by Mary Berry.

Prep Time20 mins

Cook Time15 mins

Total Time45 mins

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: British

Servings: 12 pies

Calories: 1276kcal

Ingredients

• 175 g Gluten Free Flour
• 75 g Cold Butter (cubed)
• 25 g Icing Sugar
• 1 large Orange Zest
• 1 Egg
• 1 jar Mince Meat

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 200˚C (390˚F).
• In a food processor, mix flour and butter. Add icing sugar and grated orange zest. Stir in beaten egg. Wrap the dough in a cling wrap and chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
• Lightly dust your workspace with icing sugar. Roll the dough to thickness of 1-2 mm. Use an 8 cm (3 in) fluted cutter to stamp 12 rounds. Using the rest of your dough, cut out your favourite shapes (I love stars and trees) for the tops of your pies.
• Line each hole of a muffin tin with one of the rounds and prick the bottom of each with a fork. Fill with mince meat and carefully place the tops on.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes.
• Serve warm with a dusting of icing sugar.

You may also top your mince pies with grated marzipan.
