Place the pastry circles into the pudding tray, then using a teaspoon, spoon in plenty of the mincemeat mixture into each of the pastry circles. Using a star shaped cutter, cut out tops for the pies from the remaining pastry. Pop into the oven on gasmark 5 for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops have turned nicely golden. Remove from the oven place the pies onto a cooling tray. Once cooled, take a sieve and dust the icing sugar over the tops of the mince pies.
