Vegetarian mince pies
Pies
My British mother isn't a baker. It's not her thing. It isn't really mine either. It requires precision and patience and we lack both. So we only bake when it's really necessary and, come the holidays, mince pies are necessary. First, they're delicious (especially when served with cream). Second, the recipe is flexible. When I called my mother to confirm the pastry recipe, she said she doesn't use a recipe, she just uses "some flour, half as much butter and sugar, an egg, salt, and vanilla." So, I wouldn't stress over the exact amounts for anything in this recipe. Traditionally, mince pies have beef suet in them but our family recipe is vegetarian.
