Now that advent is here it really feels like Christmas is soooooo near and that means Christmas baking! Our gorgeous little boy arrived 10 days early 4 weeks ago and time has flown by, but I've finally managed to get back in the kitchen and first on the agenda was a batch of mince pies. Last year was all about adding marzipan to my mince pies:
but this year I have given Mr Hollywood's recipe a try, with added tangerine and apple and scrummy homemade pastry. Here is a link to the recipe I used:
I found it made enough pastry for 9 mince pies and enough filling for well over 12 (although the recipe says it makes 12 but only gives instructions to cut 6?!- Paul, I'll forgive you as they are so yummy!) so I have a box of frozen filling now for next time I make these. They are made in a muffin tin and are definitely 'mansize' (not that I'm complaining about that) but next time I would probably do them in a fairy cake tin so they aren't quite as big!
Merry baking!
