"Having made mince pie's for the last 15 years I thought i'd got my perfect recipe. Then I read this one and thought I'd give it a go. I read all the comments and added half an egg to help bind the dough. I tried rolling out (between cling film) and squishing the dough with fingers and found that fingers were definately better. You can get the dough a lot thinner and it doesn't split in the oven. I greased the tins with melted butter first and gave them about 5 minutes to cool before lifting them out and had no problems at all. I made about 18 with this amount of dough. I also tried making them in a mini muffin tin and squashing the dough round the tin with your thumb is definately easier than trying to fit a disc of pastry in. Everyone who ate these said they were the best, my husband asked me not to make the others anymore!! One more tip - I ran out of lids so used some marzipan I had left from decorating the cake and they were lovely too."

"Just made this cake for my Granny. The whole house smells divine. So easy and straightforward to do. My 3 year old did most of the work!!"

"Made this pud last year and was the nicest we ever had. Didn't have any cloves so left them out. Very nice with ice cream ( kids) custard ( husband) or organic double cream ( me). Not too alcholic and because it had butter instead of suet it didn't have horrible white bits when it was cold. Making another this weekend as it's "stir up sunday" the traditional day for christmas pud making."
