I know it's not even December yet but mince pies have been in the shops since August and I gave in and bought some the week before last.
There were jars of mincemeat on special offer when I went shopping last week and I gave in and bought some and made my first batch of pies at the weekend.
I used the following pastry recipe:
50g icing sugar
125g butter
1 egg yolk
175g plain flour
You cream the butter and sugar together, add the egg yolk and mix it in and then add the flour.
Unfortunately I baked them for a little bit too long and the Tesco Finest mincemeat is a little sweet for my taste but they're still OK.
