Mincemeat Glazed Stars

If you you are making homemade mince pies, give this a try!  This will use up all the pastry ends and some of the mincemeat left in the bowl/jar.  A nice, little, bite-sized, glazed star biscuit.

Preheat the oven to 200 deg. C. to get started. If you are making pies this should be easy.


Roll out a rather thin layer of your pate brisee and cut into small stars. Dock the pastry all over with a fork.


Bake for a few minutes, until slightly firm and easy to pick up.


Brush with mincemeat that is free of bits (suet won't hurt).  Bake a few minutes more until golden.


Light and crispy with a slight sweet flavour, Enjoy!
