These Christmas treats are a quick, easy take on fruit mince pies and, best of all, taste delicious!

4 sheets butter puff pastry
1 egg yolk, beaten
200g fruit mince
5 tablespoons icing sugar, sifted
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2.

Defrost the pastry and cut into shapes using a Christmas cutter (we used a 10cm star cutter). Lay the pastry shapes on a large baking tray lined with baking paper. Prick with a fork, brush with egg and place 1 1/2 teaspoons fruit mince in the centre of each. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden, then set on a rack to cool.
3.

Mix the icing sugar and lemon juice together to make a very soft icing (add a few drops of water if necessary). Drizzle the icing over the pastries in a zig-zag pattern. (To do this is, put the icing in a small plastic bag and snip a corner off). Serve.
