Lots of pictures and very few words today - I have my hands and mouth full of frangipane mince pies…. I was feeling a little rustic and old-school when I made these - so I actually made my own pastry! I’m usually fairly lazy when it comes to pastry - buying the pre-made and pre-rolled stuff. However this is an easy version and only takes a couple of minutes to pull together (plus a bit of chilling time in the fridge). I did stick with the pre-made mincemeat though. I can’t believe I used to hate this stuff as a kid. I could eat it straight out of the jar now!! The frangipane is an easy home-made recipe too. Similar to the one I use in my peach and almond tart, you don’t need a mixer - just whisk it together in a bowl before spooning on top of the mincemeat-filled pastry cases. Serve them warm: Maybe with a drizzle of cream? Or eat them cold. However you eat them, they won’t last long (at least not with me around….).
