Mince Pies

I've been making mince pies for many years and have never been too happy with them, so this year I tried something different.  A recipe similar to the one given here was found on the internet which I've tweaked a little:

100g trex or similar
125g butter
200g white flour
125g wholemeal flour
25g cornflour
100g caster sugar
1 egg

Whiz all the ingredients in the food processor, adding a little water.
Pastry doesn't need to rest so can be rolled out immediately.
Roll out pastry and cut out 24 larger circles for the bottom of the tins.
then cut out 24 smaller ones for the lids.  Some I tops were square just for a change, as I couldn't find the Xmas tree or star cutters.
Add some brandy to the mince meat for that extra little something.
Cook in the oven at 180C for 20 minutes, cool on wire rack and dust with icing sugar before serving.
This made 24 mince pies and four jam tarts.

They were really delicious, and not too sweet

No mincemeat in the house? My mother in law didn't have any mincemeat this year so she half filled a jar with a mix of raisins, currants and sultanas, then added some Baileys, some other liquier (can't remember what) and then some butter.  It was rather nice.
