Method

Sift together the flour and sugar into a mound, add the egg yolks, butter and the salt. Combine into a ball, then wrap the pastry in cling film and put in the fridge for 1 hour. Preheat the oven 180c. Grease tart tins with butter and flour. Using a round cutter cut 12 bases. Put 1 tablespoon of mincemeat mixture (or a beautiful jam) into each.
