Hi there, I totally appreciate your care with this recipe but there are a lot of mistakes with the metric conversions and the doubling and tripling.

Luckily I spotted them before I started baking. I had great success with this using 8 ounces of salted Kerrygold butter and 2 ounces of lard. And the flour combination I used was g each of whole wheat bread flour and whole wheat pastry flour, and g of all purpose flour. The pastry behaved beautifully! I have been on a mince tart pastry quest for sometime now and I think this will now be my go to recipe. But I hope you will make the adjustments in the measurement conversions! You will see if you toggle back-and-forth on the various settings how some measures are wrong.

Do you have to refrigerate the little pies after you bake them? If you made them with meat they should be refrigerated. They also freeze well, so you can spare some of your fridge space. If you made them without meat you can store them in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days.

Squeeze the pastry together gently until you have a soft ball of pastry. Flatten to a disc, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Grease a bun tin or muffin tin, depending on how deep you like your mince pies. Unwrap the pastry and roll out on a lightly floured work surface to the thickness of a one pound coin. Cut out 12 discs of pastry with a pastry cutter slightly bigger than the size of the bun tin holes. Press a round of pastry into the bottom of each hole.

Fill each pastry case with mincemeat and then cut a further 12 rounds of pastry this time one size smaller. Meghan Markle wore deep purple winged eyeliner and a sleek high bun during an appearance at the Salute To Freedom Gala alongside husband Prince Harry.
