I’ve leaned this the hard way. I will check out some local bakeries. I’ll report back. :+1:

Second batch, err not so good.

Rolled the pastry too thin and they kind of fell apart. If you close your eyes and inhale they taste alright though.

I’ll have the Yorkshire on the right please.

Ah, hang on…

That explosion on the left looks great to be honest. Would be gone in a flash.

Had a couple of Jim’s daughter’s mince pies today on my visit to the Bungaloid Utopia in Norfolk - fuck me, THOSE are proper pies, and - take note plebeians - unsweetened lard-shortened pastry: like wot god intended :ok_hand: dee-fucking-licious!

Of course the local hipster bottle shop carries them :man_facepalming:

I do them wrong, they’re really nice guys, but it’s very East Dulwich.

In fairness any company who’s sales pitch closes with “Don’t muck about” is really quite excellent.
