Equipment

1 12 - hole Muffin Tin
1 Saucepan

Ingredients
  

BLACKCURRANT PIE FILLING

  • 350 g Blackcurrants (Fresh or frozen)
  • 175 g Caster Sugar
  • 3½ tsp Cornflour

PIE PASTRY

  • 400 g Plain Flour
  • 200 g Butter
  • 4 tbsp Caster Sugar (plus extra for dusting)
  • 6 tbsp Cold Water
  • 1 Egg (beaten for brushing the pastry)

Instructions
 

Blackcurrant pie filling

  • Using a saucepan, add the blackcurrants, sugar and cornflour. Heat on a medium setting for about 10 minutes, stirring consistently until it thickens like jam. Set aside and cool.

Pastry

  • Put the flour and sugar in a bowl or mixer and add the chopped butter. Rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add in the water until it forms a dough. Flatten out slightly and wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 170°c Fan/190°c.
  • Roll out onto a floured surface about 3mm thick. Cut 12 large circles to fit your muffin tray and 12 smaller ones for the lid. Push the large circles into your tray and prick several times with a fork but not piercing. Fill the pies ¾ full.
  • Brush the rims of the pies and the smaller circle edges with the beaten egg and press them together to form a pie. Make sure there are no gaps. Use a fork to make a pattern around the edges and piece a whole in the middle of the lid with a sharp knife.
  • Brush the tops of each pie with the egg and sprinkle sugar on top. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Leave in the tin to cool before removing. Use a round edge knife to loosen the edges if they are stuck.
