Mince Pies & Other Metaphysical Musings -> 2019

If they are even half as good as the cheese straws at your bake off I think we have a winner.:+1:

Leakage is good.

Caramelisation of the inner goodlyness is to be applauded.

That looks superb

The taste man…the taste. Tell us about the taste…

Pastry tastes great , very flaky. Followed Mary Berry’s recipe, 8oz flour, 4oz butter plus 1oz icing sugar and one egg, no water.

I cut some of the lids too thick which then needed more cooking and resulted in too much leakage.

Will try another batch tomorrow and try and nail the execution .

Oh, put pastry in fridge for 30 mins before rolling.

I would also advise a more regimented dusting regime. Potential over-dusting could work against you. :slight_smile:

Christmas Tarts???:face_with_symbols_over_mouth: Fruit Mince Tarts :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:. Rest assured that I would firebomb some civilisation into these Barbarians were it not for the possibility of setting fire to the flocks of local Xmas birdies :unamused:

You have two days to angle grind the Bakers Delight factory to the ground.

I suspect I will need a grinder to cut through the clag.

Domestic Antipodean strikes again. Shouldn’t be allowed out unsupervised (the whole Nation not just my Strayan).

Dusting factor set to extreme

Pastry lid looks thick enough to withstand execocet attack or Tasmanian false teeth

Deep filled with disappointment and loathing
