My husband loves Mince Pies and for a number of years I have had a go. Until I managed to make decent pastry it was a lost cause. I used to use my mother's pastry recipe-why I don't know as her pastry was pretty awful too. But with a recipe off the internet and the use of a food processer to keep my hot little hands off it I can now make pastry. Last year I had a go at mincemeat using the hairy bikers recipe. It was horrible. This year I typed "traditional mincemeat" into google and I've got great mincemeat.
Today I decided to make mince pies. Great pastry, great mincemeat but they stuck to the tin! I did grease the tins first. (they are ancient) Do you reckon I need new tins or is it just me. Am I fated to never make the perfect mince pie.
