Star Mince Pies

Christmas creeps up so quickly, so I thought I'd add one or two recipes to help you out.

Can be frozen.

Editor's note: We found that this amount of pastry made around 24 pies, for which we needed approximately 600g of mincemeat. We did find ourselves a bit short on the topping though, so consider making 1.5 - 2x as much.


Viennese Mince Pies

Mince pies had their origin in Tudor times. They were rectangular in shape and had a pastry baby on top to represent the crib and Jesus. They were made with minced meat and spices. Later the meat was replaced with fruit and suet to remind us of the meat used. Today's mince pies, round in shape, are altogether a much tastier bite.

Will freeze.
