We like to eat Mince Pies, any time of the year. I make large quantities of luxery mince meat, and just about use it up when it is time to make a new batch for the next year. For my Mince Pies, I like to use a sweet dessert pastry for the bases, and Flakey or Ruff Puff for the lids.

PS. Home made pastry, the old fashioned way, of course.

I always do homemade - I don't make many because we don't like them a great deal. I make them quite small (2-3 bites worth), with shortcrust rolled as thinly as possible. Even if I say so myself, I'm not bad at shortcrust pastry!

I have to make quite a large amount of green tomato mincemeat most years as it is much less rich than conventional mincemeat and is absolutely sumptuous on toast.

If there is a bit left we make mince pies with it.

Puff pastry homemade are my favourites though.

Don't like sweet mince pies made with flakey or ruff puff....I make mine with sweet,shortcake pastry dusted with lots of icing sugar and served with brandy butter
