Those of you who follow me on Twitter will know that on Monday I made my first batch of Mince Pies this year. To me, Mince Pies personify Christmas & make me feel nostalgic. It was always tradition in our family to leave a glass of sherry & a mince pie out for Santa when he came to deliver the presents!!
I swear by this recipe which makes unbelievably tasty sweet pastry (think sweet Shortbread) with no need to roll out. These mince pies never fail to be a hit with family & friends. The other key to success is using the best quality Mincement, preferrably mature & having been soaked in lashings of alcohol!

| If you have a food processor this makes extremely light work of rubbing the fat into the flour |
Serve warm with a sprinkle of icing sugar & enjoy!

Oh they sound lovely and they are just adorable too! I've been searching for some new holiday recipes. Thanks, sweets! xoxo

Oooh they look delicious. I'm so excited to get home to england and be able to eat mince pies again. After two years in Korea I really miss all the usual christmas food that I can't get here.
I will probably try baking these myself if I get time! Thanks for providing the recipe!
