Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan. Grease 10 individual pudding moulds and place onto a baking tray. Spoon a heaped tablespoon of mincemeat into the base of each mould and smooth into an even layer.
Make sure your butter (or dairy free alternative) is soft. Place the vanilla cake mix, butter (or dairy free alternative), mixed spice, eggs and water into a large bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk for 15 seconds. Stop, scrape down the bowl and mix for a further 10 seconds. Divide the mixture between the pudding moulds, filling three-quarters full. Bake for 18 – 20 minutes until risen and lightly golden brown.
The puddings will be very HOT. Use rubber gloves or a tea towel to help you, run a knife around the inside rim of the tin and flip out onto a plate. Spoon any mincemeat left in the pudding moulds back on top of each pudding.
Serve with cream, custard, brandy sauce, ice cream or dairy free alternative of your choice.
