Ingredients

Essential kit

You will need: baking paper

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C for 5 minutes while you make the lattice.

Lightly flour your worktop and unroll your shortcrust pastry. Cut it lengthways into 4 equal pieces, 2 for the base and 2 for the lattice.

Cut both lattice pieces lengthways into 8 equal ribbons. Cover with cling film or a tea towel so it doesn’t dry out.

Cut two pieces of baking paper that will fit into the air fryer and place your pastry bases on these.

Spread the mincemeat onto the pastry bases, leaving a 1cm edge.

Lay 8 ribbons diagonally over each base, pressing them gently into the edges. Trim the excess and use these to cross over the opposite way, creating a lattice effect. Press the edges down gently and neatly trim.

Brush the pastry all over with the beaten egg and carefully lift the slices into the air fryer basket. Cook at 170°C for 15 minutes until crisp and golden. Leave to cool slightly before lifting out.

Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve warm with a cup of tea or a Chrimbo sherry.
