For the uninitiated, the mince Pie is a typical English which is consumed during Christmas and we who are cool we will prepare together with Italian treats.

Stuffing or Mincemeat.

Paper cups or baking muffins

Round shape to cut the cookies or a wide glass.

brown sugar 180 g

60 g butter

50 g chopped walnuts

1 tablespoon mixture of spices (nutmeg + cinnamon plus cloves)

Cut the pastry forming discs, using a glass or shape to cut the cookies and cover the bottom and sides of cups or muffin mold (small), it's good enough for a baking muffins. Add the filling and seal the surface with another disk of pastry.
