I like mince pies. They simply needed to be my favorite a part of Christmas. I often begin making them mid-November and make not less than one batch per week. I additionally make them as items for mates. I believe as you grow old a festive reward of meals is a lot nicer. To make my mince pies I take advantage of my Nan’s pastry recipe which is simply good. She was a tremendous candy pastry cook dinner and everybody I do know beloved her mince pies. Mine are good however won’t ever style like hers!
To make the mincemeat and marzipan slice I’ve used my Nan’s pastry recipe which you’ll find right here. After you have made your pastry enable it to relaxation within the fridge for half-hour. Take 2/3 of the pastry and roll out and place in your greased and floured baking tray, pushing into the corners. At this stage don’t reduce off the surplus pastry.
Nest unfold your mincemeat all around the pastry and add balls on marzipan.
Roll out the remaining pastry and reduce strips for the lattice prime. Now you ‘plait’ the strips by going below and over alternatively till the highest of the slice is roofed. With a pastry brush and water, glue the sends of the strips to the edges of the tin, then reduce away any extra pastry from the edges. Beat one egg and brush the highest of the pastry and sprinkle some caster sugar on the pastry.
Bake within the oven for 15/20 minutes till golden brown at 180 levels. Place the baking tray on a wire cooling rack and permit for the slice to chill absolutely earlier than taking out of the tin. Minimize into slices and revel in! This makes a beautiful different to Christmas pudding and will be served by itself or with custard, ice cream or brandy sauce.
