Here’s a simple recipe for homemade Christmas mince pies:

Pastry:

- 1 egg
- ¼ cup water
Sift the flour onto a cold surface, then add salt, chopped butter, egg, and water into the centre. Gently blend the ingredients together with your fingertips, gradually working in the flour. Lightly knead until smooth, then wrap the pastry and chill for 30 minutes.

Filling:
