- Roll out the pastry and cut the pie cases with a 3 inch cutter and the lids with a 2 inch cutter.
- Place the pie cases into the greased bun tins and put a teaspoon of mincemeat into each one.
- Brush the edges of the lids with some water before placing them on the pies.

- Brush the top of the mince pies with milk so that they go a nice golden colour.
