Make the Pastry: In a large bowl, combine the All-purpose flour and Salt. Cut in the Cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the Ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the Prepared mincemeat, Brandy, and Orange zest. Mix well.
Assemble the Pies: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out half of the Pastry dough and line a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the Mincemeat Filling.
Roll out the remaining Pastry dough and cover the pie. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut vents in the top crust.
Make the Egg Wash: Whisk together the Egg and Milk. Brush the top of the pie with the Egg Wash.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
