Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Mix the mincemeat and marzipan in a bowl and set aside.
- Unroll the pastry on its paper. Use cutters to stamp out 10 x 5.5cm and 10 x 6cm circles of pastry. Cut a small hole, star or cross in the centre of the larger circles. To make star shapes, use 6.5cm and 7cm star cutters instead.
- Spoon a heaped tsp of the mincemeat on each of the smaller pastry shapes. Brush around it with the beaten egg, then top with the larger pastry shapes and press down to seal. Use a fork or icing nozzle to decorate the edges.
- Transfer to a lined baking sheet, brush with more egg; chill for at least 10 mins. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and crisp. Cool for 10 mins, dust with icing sugar, then insert a cake pop stick.
