Mini MIncemeat Turnovers

By á-47

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 tea. salt
• 6 Tbsp. butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
• 6 Tbsp. cream cheese, chilled and cut into small pieces
• 2 Tbsp. ice water
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup mincemeat

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Using a food processor, pulse together the flour and salt. Add the butter and cream cheese and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with the ice water and pulse until the dough forms a ball; flatten into a disk, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Flour the dough and roll it out 1/8" thick. Using a 4" round cookie cutter, cut out disks, then reroll the scraps and repeat until you have 10 disks. Brush some egg around each rim, spoon 2 teaspoons mincemeat into each center and fold the dough over to cover. Press the edges to seal and crimp with a fork.

Transfer the turnovers to a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with the remining egg and cut 2 small slits into the top of each turnover.

Bake until golden, about 15 minutes; transfer to a rack to cool.
