I had wanted to try this recipe during the holidays but just couldn't get to it until this morning...and I am glad I waited. Although more of an assembly than baking I did find the cooked tarts messy but in the end quiet beautiful. I also found that the filo browned too much for my liking as I had to keep it in the oven until the puff pastry was done.<br /> Although messy to take out of the tins...they look aboutely amazing and taste even better then they look. Just the right amount of mincemeat and crunch of textures...I will definitely try this again..only without the egg wash and less butter so that maybe the filo won't brown as much. Thanks....delicious!!!
Awesome mince pies again! Great recipe (although didn't try to stretch to 24).
Mmmm! Not sure what happened, a bit of a mess with filo breaking allover the place.<br /> <br /> Will try again next time with more filo (I had 2-3 thickness - all I had left from the packet after making the Amazing strudel) Jamie had 1 pack on recipe and unclear how many he used.<br /> <br /> I was surprised how little mincemeat was need.<br /> <br /> I used ready puff pastry insteasd of rolling out my own and I dont think it cooked very well. It was in the oven for over 45mins to cook the puff and filo to turn golden brown.<br /> <br /> Next time I would prefer to make only 12 Great ones than 24 so-so ones.<br /> <br /> I will try it again as I have lots of ingredients left over.<br /> <br /> Jamie does everyone know that mincemeat is "fruitmince"?<br /> <br /> Does butter go in between all layers of filo?<br /> <br /> Cheers from Sydney Australia ....Hic, Hic!!!<br /> <br />
Just made these but the puff pastry was a little stodgy, any suggestions?
Is this really only 100g mincemeat?
We have made these for the last two years, possibly three, and they are now a firm favorite and part of our family Christmas. My son usually makes them, he is now 16 and turning into an excellent cook. You have def inspired him Jamie! What I like about these mince pies is that they only have a little mince meat so the flavor of the mince does not overwhelm them.
Hi Jamie, are these the same ones served in your restaurant in Birmingham as I had them there the other day and were the best minced pies i've ever tried!
Jamie,<br /> I saw you making these at the very end of one of your Christmas shows. I really don't cook (I have a wonderful husband that does that) and I don't consider baking cooking and I love to bake. I can't wait to try this recipe. Not too many people in my area are familiar with mincemeat (I am from the Seattle area but live in Texas). So I am going to introduce this to my co-workers and family. I might even try some with mincemeat and apples. Thank you
Followed these exactly to the recipe and my filo turned out almost black.. only in oven for 22 minutes... i don't understand what happened :/
made these last christmas and people are still talking about them nearly a year later! under pressure now to make them again this year!
am so looking forward to making these again this year -they were such a success last year, looked great and tasted great! thanks Jamie!
Made these last year too and they were yummy, looking forward to doing them again <br /> This year :)
Only just realized there are recipes on here <yesIamstupid><br /> <br /> I am hosting a few Christmas dinner parties this year and these look fantastic!! There will be plenty of these to offer my guests :)
made these last xmas and they were wow!!! gave a basket of them as a gift too and the recipient asked for the recipe... i had to confess it was all about Jamie (couldnt take the credit)
I've tried them. Amazing :))
We made these last year too. They went down well so we will be making them again next week.
