Mini Mincemeat Tarts and Good Friends

Mini Mincemeat Tarts

Yields 3

Pate Brisee for Tart crust

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out crust
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup ice water, plus more as needed
  • 15 ounces mincemeat filling, I used Robertson's

Instructions

  • Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until combined.
  • Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds.
  • With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream until mixture just begins to hold together.
  • Shape dough into 2 disks. Wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days
  • Preheat oven to 325'
  • Roll dough to a thickness of 1/8" or 1/4 "
  • Cut a circle with a cookie cutter or inverted cup of an appropriate size for your tart pan
  • Cut stars or another small shape for the top of your tart
  • Pre bake your tarts and decorative tops at 325' for 7 minutes.
  • Take tarts out of the oven and increase temperature to 350'
  • Fill your tarts with mincemeat so that the tart is just about full.
  • Top with pre-baked decoration
  • Bake at 350' for another 15 minutes.
