Do something different with mincemeat – mix it through a blondie batter. These gloriously squidgy Christmassy treats are best enjoyed with a cup of tea.
Method
Based on 16 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Butter a 20 x 20cm baking tin and line with baking parchment. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Melt the butter and 150g of the white chocolate chips (if cooking 16 portions) in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave in 10-second bursts. Cool slightly, then beat in the sugar until smooth.
Step 2
Crack in one of the eggs and mix to combine, then add a spoonful of the flour. Repeat with the remaining eggs, then sift in the remaining flour and add the remaining white chocolate chips. Fold to combine.
Step 3
Pour a quarter of the batter into the prepared tin, then nestle the mince pies into the mixture. Pour the remaining batter into the tin around the mince pies, then bake for 35-40 mins until the top is golden brown. Leave to cool for 15 mins before removing from the tin to cool completely. Cut into 16 squares.
