If you love a mince pie why not give a gluten free frangipane topped mince pie a go? The hardest part of this is getting the pastry nailed, just follow my recipe and all will be fine. The frangipane top gives the pies a slight Bakewell tart type vibe and makes them feel slightly lighter than having a pastry top. The gluten free frangipane is super easy to make and could be used for other bakes as well as Christmas mince pies!

Ingredients

Coeliac Sanctuary Shortcrust Pastry - heres the recipe
9tbsp mincemeat (any type you like that is gluten free, I just used a basic jar)

50g ground almonds
1 large egg
1tsp almond extract

Preparation Time: 40 Mins
Cooking Time: 30 Mins

This recipe contains

Dairy, Egg, Tree Nuts

Method

1. Make up pastry according to the recipe linked in the ingredients

2. Roll out to about 5mm thick and cut out rounds using a 3 inch cutter (you may have some pastry left over), grease 9 holes of a muffin tin and pop each round into a hole.

3. Add a 1tbsp of mincemeat to each case.

4. Place all other ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until smooth, spoon around 1tbsp or so on top of the mincemeat.

5. Bake in an oven preheat to gas mark 4 for 30-35 mins until golden brown. Allow to cool before removing from the tin, this will help the pastry firm up.
