Ingredients

For the short crust pastry:
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup butter, unsalted
cold, and cut into 1 inch pieces
2 tablespoons water
iced, plus more as needed
For the mincemeat filling:
11 ounces mincemeat
1 jar, about 1 cup
*

Directions

For the Short Bread Crust:

In a food processor, add the flour, salt, and sugar and process until combined.

Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal (about 15 seconds).

Pour 2 tablespoons ice water in a slow, steady stream, through the feed tube until the dough just holds together when pinched. Add more water if needed. Do not process more than 30 seconds.

Turn the dough onto your work surface and gather into a ball.

Fatten each half into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. This will chill the butter and relax the gluten in the flour.

For the Mincemeat Tart:

Coat 24 mini muffin tins with cooking spray, or grease with butter, or line with papper.

After the dough has chilled sufficiently, take the pastry and transfer on a lightly floured surface.

Roll out the pastry dough until about ⅛ inch thick and cut into 24 rounds that are slightly bigger than the muffin tins. (To prevent the pastry from sticking to the counter and to ensure uniform thickness, keep lifting up and turning the pastry a quarter turn as you roll (always roll from the center of the pastry outwards).)

Gently place the rounds into the muffin tins.

Add about a teaspoon of mincemeat into each tin.

Bake in a 400℉ (200℃) (205 degree C) oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the pastry has lightly browned.

Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

11 oz. of mincemeat is actually 2 cups, not about 1 cup...
1 cup or water weighs 8 oz...And mincemeat is lighter than water...

Basic math dictates 11 oz. is more than 1 cup, and something lighter than water would therefore make even more than "about 1 cup..."

Heaven help your baking skills if your measurements are so casual.

To the person from Colorado Springs and the comment there is a civilized way to make comments24J8B

I agree with 24J8B's comment about a civilized comment. Also note that the measurements used in the recipe are by volume not by weight. 1 cup equals 8 oz in a measuring cup therefore 11 oz is just under 1 1/2 cups (1/8 of a cup less).
Thanks for the recipe - I got the 11oz measurement knowing the above :-)

No need to be tetchy. Baking is supposed to be fun! I didn't measure the mincemeat at all. I just filled up the tarts until they looked right. I will probably live longer for not worrying so much, and the tarts came out just fine. ;-)
