  Really scrumptious! I made a dozen and they disappeared before they had even had a chance to cool! My family love marzipan and said they were delicious and much nicer than a traditional mince pie.

  My niece wants to do some cooking with me this Christmas and I'd love to try this one with her - but she's allergic to eggs. Since it's just one egg yolk, could I just replace it with a drop of milk or vegetable oil? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I always make an effort to make cakes without eggs as well as the usual recipes so she can eat them but it would be nice to get some guidance on how to deal with recipes like this where there's a very small quantity of egg. any help would be greatly appreciated. I did see the section for allergy free cooking, which is also great - but she's so desperate to try some "normal" recipes and she really liked the sound of this one.

  Delicious - I took them into work and they disappeared very quikcly and everyone was raving about them. Terri - I think a splash of milk would be fine instead of the egg yolk.

  Terri - as the yolk, on cooking, will also expand a bit I would replace it by some milk mixed up with a little powdered egg replacer or, if you don't have any, a little cornflour. Another possible alternative is to mix some yoghurt with a little oil - this will give the texture of the yolk. Please post again and tell us what you did and how it turned out!

  Just made 2 batches of these, one which we've eaten and were fantastic, the other has gone in the freezer uncooked for Christmas. The recipe doesn't say whether you can cook from frozen and if so, how long they take in the oven. I can always defrost, but it would be good to know if you can cook from frozen, so that you can pull them out when you get some unexpected guests!

  I might be making these every christmas now, instead of normal mince pies - they are lovely. I didn't have any Madeira cake and blowed if I was going to buy one just to use 2 oz, so I used breadcrumbs from a fresh homemade white loaf instead, and the pies turned out perfectly. I think they'd have been too rich with Madeira cake, and the breadcrumbs provided a nice yeasty flavour, more like a proper stollen. Very very tasty, highly recommended.
