When I came in looking for a British dessert for our New Year's menu the Mince Pies, I knew that would taste the guests - Both blackheads like unlike me dried fruits, candied fruits and orange peel. The name of this little tart is a little misleading, since they have no ground meat filling, but are sweet. Traditional Brandy butter is one to mince pies, but the husband was a rum that has somehow gone, too - well, the rum, not the husband. And traditionally is tallow and beef suet into the pie filling - and I sat across as with the Yorkshire puddings. Butter's does.
The husband, by exchange students experience and Jamie-Oliver-experiments limited Brit-food-compatible, even feared, I would want to serve mint cake. No, do not panic! Mince Pies are delicious Swienkroom. Finally, they are the favorite food of Father Christmas, will be deposited by the fireplace on Christmas Eve, along with a glass of brandy, port or sherry and a radicle for the reindeer. Given the workload of Santa Claus and the resulting number to consume Santander Pies and Begleitalkoholika is hoped that the old beard does not get into an alcohol control. Drunkenness on the slide are surely plenty of points in Flensburg. And probably because almost every country has its traditional Christmas supply, there's the end of the day probably strongly Bäuchi-Aua. No wonder the old boy must recover from a day's work 364 days.
The amount of batter is enough for 24 pieces of Pies. I have taken only the half and turned the other half of the Leek-Cheese-Cookies. The remaining pie filling is hot into sterile jars, hot filled and is ready for next time
