Christmas Mince Pies with Beetroot Pastry
Report
I've used beetroot pastry to make these Christmas mince pies extra special. You can't taste the beet, but they leave the pastry bright purple!

Ingredients
- 3.5 oz (100g) raw beetroot, peeled
- 1 ¾ cups (225g) all-purpose flour (plain flour)
- ½ cup (115g) cold butter cut into cubes
- ⅓ cup (40g) powdered icing sugar
- pinch of salt
- A few tablespoons of very cold water
- 1 cup (250g) mincemeat (I used my Pumpkin Mincemeat)
Instructions
- Whiz the beetroot in a food processor until fine. Set aside in a bowl.
- In the food processor, pulse the flour, butter, icing sugar and salt until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. Add the beetroot and pulse to combine. Add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together in a ball. You don’t want it too wet.
- Press the dough into a flat disc shape, to aid rolling later, cover in clingfilm and refrigerate for at least half an hour or even overnight.
- Lightly grease a bun or muffin tray. Preheat oven to 190C/375F.
- Take half of the dough from the fridge and roll it out thinly. Cut circles slightly larger than the holes in the tray using a cookie cutter or the edge of a glass. Cut out shapes, such as stars, to top the mince pies. Gently press the circles into the tray, fill ¾ full with the mincemeat and top with the star shaped pastry.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until they just begin to brown. Remove from the tray and cool on a wire rack. When the tray is cool, repeat with the remaining pastry.
