1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the flour into a bowl and mix in the butter, sugar, vanilla and egg. Knead to form a ball, then wrap in clingwrap and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Allow the dough to soften slightly, then roll out between two pieces of greaseproof paper into a roundish shape. Place on a lined baking tray.
3. Spoon in the mincemeat and marmalade, leaving a 5 cm border around the edges. Fold the border over. Sprinkle over the nuts and bake for 35 minutes. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
