Mince Pies

Would you like to sink your teeth into one of my mince pies?

The pastry is not bad … not Mr. Kipling’s, but quite good, especially as it has a hint of oranges due to the zest that is in the pastry recipe, which also includes ground almonds, interestingly.

The pies have been booby-trapped with powdered sugar.

Mince Pies

Please remind me to bake some Mince Pies. I love Mince Pies. And, besides, Father Christmas needs to be left a couple of Mince Pies on a plate, together with a glass of Amontillado, on Christmas Eve.

If he doesn’t get his Mince Pies, he gets pissy, and is wont to urinate on the tree.
