Iā€™ve learnt a lot here. The pastry is too thick for sure, but the empty case Iā€™ve had a nibble on tastes ok.

Potential brother, potential.

The key with the pastry is not to use any water at all. Just flour, butter & eventually caster sugar.

I didnā€™t use any sugar! Just a touch of water.

350g plain flour, 75g butter, 75g lard.

Acceptable for a football match meat pie, not so much for a post-Regency mince pie.

Good evening all,

I intend to build my own Mince Pies. I am seeking advice on how to make Pastry here as you guys seem to have this covered.

TIA :sunglasses:

Pinch of salt.
Some sugar apparently.

And before the inevitable pile-on, I know a large contingent of Norn Irish women who will bash you up if you diss the magic pastry.

Still donā€™t know how that would work?

I was mixing it for ages and it showed no inclination to bind.

Fucking bang on! Iā€™ll get building later this week. Will keep you posted! I cannot overstate how helpful this information is! Much appreciated! Thank you very much! :ok_hand::sunglasses:
