The pastry used in the opening post is ‘sugar pastry’.
Yes, it is a pig to roll out. I use all butter instead of trex.
Top tip. Once made let it rest over night is best but an hour or two is okay. I make sure that my work surface and rolling pin is well floured, this will also help. If doing a big pie, I always have my dish close by.
The pastry is the best and I will always use it when making any sweet pastry dish.

I plan to try these this year.

I need some help.

I will make half the quanitity. Do I have to measure out half an egg, or will it be ok to just use a whole one?

Thanks

RIP to the neighbour who kindly shared her recipe, did you tell her OP that you had posted it on here?

Yes, I told her and she was extremely pleased that so many people would taste her recipe of her delicious mince pies.
