There must be as many mince pie receipes as there are actual mince pies....
We have a customer who loves, loves , loves mince pies... she eats them all year round.... when ever we visit her we take her a different mince pie receipe....however we have yet to discover mince pie nirvana...for her, however along the way we've stumbled across some pretty fanatsic mince pies.
Everyone likes them in a certain way... all butter, puff pastry, warm, cold, with nuts, with meringue, with a star on top with marzipan.... the list goes on & on...
Personally I like them buttery as can be with a cute little hole in the middle of the top, sprinkled with sugar, just slightly warm to the touch. If there is a little bit of proper custard available then all the better... (warm of course)
If you read this blog, would be great if you could let me know how it is you like your mince pies... all in the name of research.
We could run a competition for the best mince pie receipe in London/England/ the world... the winner could win a FREE CELEBRATION CAKE FOR UPTO 15 PEOPLE... DELIVERED FREE!
I love Christmas !... PS... this is me, in the office, getting ready for the Kings Cross side car GrandPrix :)
