Mince Pie Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • PASTRY DIRECTIONS:
  • Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl.
  • Add lard and butter using a knife to mix it into the flour until it is blended.
  • Lightly rub the fat into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, blending the dough together with your fingertips.
  • When enough water has been added, the pastry should leave the bowl fairly clean.
  • Place the pastry in a plastic food bag and leave it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to "rest".

  • MINCE PIE DIRECTIONS:
  • Preheat oven to 400° F / 200° C
  • Saute onions and garlic in a large skillet on medium heat until caramelized.
  • Leave them in the pan, uncovered, stirring every few minutes until they are light brown.
  • Add spices, sauces and soup.
  • Simmer the mixture gently for about 10 minutes and thoroughly heated.
  • Roll out the pastry and line the greased pie plate,
  • Add the meat into it.
  • Cover with a second pie shell, trim edges neatly of excess dough with a knife and press the edges of the top and bottom crusts together tightly with the back of a fork to seal in the meat filling.
  • Brush the top of the pie shell with a little oil so it browns nicely in the oven and cut four small slits in the top so the steam within can escape as it bakes.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden.
  • Serve with potatoes, your favourite vegetables and gravy.
  • Serves 4.
