I havent attempted to make pastry for years but this inspired me and everyone was happy with the results. won't bother with shop-bought mince pies again now!0

This is the third xmas that I've used this great recipe and this year's are definitely the best. I didn't roll out the pastry as thin as I have done in the past and all 31 of the mince pies have turned out really well, no problems with them falling apart. So thumbs up here again for this fab recipe!

I did my last batch a little thicker and they are lovely
my OH is a baker by trade,proper one not one of those
ones in the supermarket who spend their days baking off
frozen everything. He is very impressed with this recipe
and the results and amazed I made them so well !:j:j:j0 -

I can't believe its almost 4 years from the original post and it's a great feeling to know that so many people have enjoyed these mince pies. My neighbour no longer bakes as her eyesight is too bad - but the recipe lives on.............0

I have used this recipe throughout the year
for lots of different pies left out the suger in some
to make savoury pies & pasties.
Whats the betting it will be the same again this
year Trex sold out everywhere and everyone on
a mad hunt
best recipe ever:j:j:j0 -
i've never made mince pies but it sounds a lot like the recipe for pastry my dear old nan used to use. she would have been 90 if she was alive today.
i'm looking forward to testing this recipe on the family x0 -
Bought Trex today - not easy to find but it was with the other 'hard' margarines - before/after the soft spreads.0
