Thanks for baking these pies to share. They look delicious! My grandmother used to bake mince pies for holidays. When I retired, I intended to bake for my grandsons. I tried several pies, but I don't think I have a good pie crust recipe. At least, they are not like my mother used to make! Then I tried to make scones, as I became interested in our Scottish heritage. I made a big mess! It took me forever to get the dough into a semblance of dough. They tasted alright, but I didn't have the dish I intended to make for breakfast, ready until after school was out that evening. I still want to bake cookies, scones, pies, and the like for my grandsons, and myself, if the truth be told. Have a tremendous 2008!
These look gorgeous! Love the stars on top too... well done! I am always nervous about pastry cooking, so good on you - these look amazing. Happy New Year! x
Happy New Year, Yvonne :) Wish I'd found these gorgeous mince pies earlier! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Wishing you all that you hope for and more throughout 2008. Hugs, Sue xXx
