🍰 Desserts

Fruit-filled mince pies dusted in sugar, the December counter of British bakeries. Rustic, crisp-edged and comforting — the dessert that empties the table quietly. A slice of sharp cheese alongside is old-school and excellent.

Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Salt1/2 tsp
All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Sugar2 tbsp
Ground Cinnamon1 tsp
Golden Raisins2 tbsp
Apple2 cups, chopped

Instructions

1
Cube the cold butter and return it to the fridge while you measure the rest.
2
Cut the cold butter through the flour, drizzle in ice water, and gather the dough without kneading.
3
Chill the wrapped dough thirty minutes to an hour while you prepare the apple.
4
Roll, fill with the apple and golden raisins, and crimp or fold the edges well to seal.
5
Bake at 190 C / 375 F for 35-45 minutes until deeply golden and bubbling; cool before slicing so the filling sets.

Chef's tip

With butter-based batters, cream until the mixture actually lightens in colour; that trapped air is your rise.
