How to Make Mincemeat Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  3. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. Press half of the dough into the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine mincemeat and brown sugar. Spread evenly over the crust.
  7. Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips or squares, arranging them over the mincemeat filling in a lattice pattern or simply cover the mincemeat completely.
  8. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature with your choice of ice cream, butterscotch sauce, or whipped cream.
