Lemon Mince Pies

Line some buttered patty-pans with thinly rolled puff paste, fill them half full of the lemon mincemeat, put a round of paste on the top of each, press together round the edges, dip a paste-brush in egg beaten together with a little water, brush the tops of the patties over, sprinkle powdered sugar on the top, and bake in a moderate oven. When cooked take them out of the pans, place them on a dish, and serve either hot or cold.
