Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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