Gluten free.casein free mince pies

7oz ground organic almonds

1 oz brown rice flour (organic)

rind from 1 organic orange( optional)

½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

vanilla pod seeds scraped out (optional)

approx 1.5 – 2 oz goose fat or organic virgin coconut oil (Tropical

Traditions is the most reliably sourced brand)– I just add enough to

give me a pastry like consistency depending on how fine the almonds

are. add in carefully and gradually until achieve correct

consistency. Mixture should be very crumbly but not too fatty . Don't

add all at once)

egg yoke as required

½ to 1 oz fructose (blitz in grinder to make consistency of caster

sugar) or honey to taste

Iced water to make

organic mincemeat pie filling

Pulverize ground almonds or flaked almonds until as fine as possible

without turning into almond butter! Combine with rice flour. Add

orange rind, vanilla pods and sugar/honey. Add around half egg yoke,

together with iced water to make a pastry dough (not too sticky) chill

20 mins. Put 1 med organic muffin tin case into each hole in the

muffin tin. Cut out 20 circles of organic greaseproof paper to fit

inside a medium muffin tin indent. Take a small ball of pastry and

`pat it out' between two circles of paper. Remove top layer of paper,

leaving the pastry circle stuck to the bottom one. Transfer the paper

into the muffin case, with the pastry facing upwards. Fill the pie

case with mincemeat. Cut out star shape from remaining pastry. Repeat

this until all pastry is used up. Bake @ 180c for 10 mins until

slightly golden, taking care not to singe!

The baking parchment thing sounds a faff but this pastry is so rich

and short that it is almost impossible to roll out. However, it does

make the most delicious mince pies - not perfect looking, but

absolutely melt in the mo
