With Christmas just around the corner, mince pies are definitely on the menu! Perfect with a cup of tea, we like them generously filled and crumbly on the outside. These can be warmed up and served with a dollop of cream – or even better, brandy butter. Delicious!
Ingredients
For the Pastry
375g plain flour
260g unsalted butter
125g caster sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
1 large egg plus 1 beaten egg for glazing
For the Filling
600g mincemeat
1 apple, finely chopped
zest of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Method
Put the kettle on and serve the mince pies warm – and try not to eat the whole batch at once! Our onsite caterers, The Gourmet Chef will be serving mince pies at the club throughout December, so come and warm up after shooting with a sweet treat.
