Test run of the mince pies tonight. The Dai Due mince was quite good, not as sweet and gooey (I think is the right word) as the ones we’re used to, but Daniel commented that the lack of sweetness and more natural taste was really nice.
I added a spoonful of vanilla ice cream on the side to make up for it and it worked out nicely.
I spread out the pie dough too thin on the bottoms and as a result, left most of the pie bottoms on the tin. Next time I’ll get that ratio right.

Yum – looks good to me! I’ve never had mince pie so guess I’ll have to break down and try it – like your plates! Visiting via SITS
thanks for passing by. I loved the crust I did for the mince pies and here is the recipe. 125 gr butter, 125gr sugar, 125gr plain flour, 125 gr self raising flour and an egg. Beat butter & sugar add egg and fold in flours. Knead, wrap in plastic and chill for an hour before using. Enjoy!
Thanks Melissa! I finally went out and got the right size pastry cutter. Now I just need to get the time to get back in the kitchen and redo them!
