Cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to develop. Filling will make 24 tablespoons or 1 1/2 cups (480g). • Step 2: Meanwhile, to make the pastry, blend the flour, icing sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until pea-size bits of butter remain. Pulse in 1/4 cup of the water until the mixture just comes together in beads. Add more water by the teaspoon if the dough is too dry. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Flatten each into a disc, wrap separately in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or freeze for up to 1 week. • Step 3: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan forced). Lightly oil two 12-hole shallow tart pans. • Step 4: Roll out 1 dough disc on a lightly floured work surface into a 3mm thickness. Using a round 7cm cutter, cut out 12 rounds (slightly larger than the holes in the tins). Line each hole with a pastry. Repeat with the second pastry disc. • Step 5: Divide the fruit mince evenly among the pastry cases. • Step 6: Roll out the remaining pastry, a little thinner than before. Cut out stars, Christmas trees, or other desired shapes to place on top of the pie filling. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cream and lightly brush over the pastry tops. • Step 7: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crusts are golden. Transfer the tins to a rack to cool for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the tarts from the tins and cool on the rack. Sift the icing sugar over and serve. • Watch now • Ginger Maple Glazed Christmas Ham: • Ginger Maple Glazed Christmas Ham |... • • The Best Roasted Garlic Hommus: • The Best Roasted Garlic Hommus | Cook... • How to Make Crispy-skin Barramundi with a Chilli-lime Dressing: • How to Make Crispy-skin Barramundi wi... • Creamy Seafood Prawn Soup with Fennel Herbs: • Creamy Seafood Prawn Soup with Fennel... • For more recipes and inspiration, visit: https://www.coles.com.au/recipes-insp... • For homemade creations, tips and recipe advice, visit: / colescookingclub • For more trending recipe content and cooking hacks, visit: / colessupermarkets
