Mince Pies
Ingredients
Home Made Mince Meat
500g flour
250g butter
1 egg
1 orange
1 tablespoon golden caster sugar
Golden caster sugar to sprinkle on the mince pies.
"To make mine pies far better than anything you could buy, use my mincemeat recipe and make up orange shortcrust pastry.
Work the fat into the pastry until it resembles breadcrumbs then pull it together adding an egg yolk, a tablespoon of golden caster sugar and the grated rind and juice of an orange.
Allow to relax then roll out to 6mm thick and make up the mince pies.
Use the egg white to brush the top of the mince pies with before sprinkling with a little golden caster sugar and baking at 200 degrees Centigrade for 20 minutes.
