For the Base: 
Dundee Mince Pie Preparation:Method:Combine all the ingredients for the base in a bowl and add just enough water to bring this together as a fairly wet dough. cover in clingfilm then refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured work surface and roll out thinly enough to cover the base of a greased Swiss roll tin. Add a layer of mincemeat on top then make the cake mix. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy then add the egg and beat thoroughly to combine. Now add the flour, baking soda, ground almonds and the orange juice and zest. Beat thoroughly to combine then spread the batter over the mincemeat. Place in an oven pre-heated to 160°C and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and springs back when pressed. This can be served cold as a cake but is excellent served warm with custard as a dessert. Find more Christmas Recipes Here |
