Gluten-Free Deep-Filled Mince Pies
Becky Excell · How to Bake Anything Gluten Free
What would Christmas be without mince pies? Fortunately, I never struggle to find gluten-free mince pies in the supermarket, but trust me — you absolutely can’t beat making your own, especially when it comes to pastry. Feel free to use store-bought mincemeat from the supermarket, which speeds up the process massively — just ensure it's gluten-free. TIP: Chill! Using cold butter and chilling the dough makes your gluten-free pastry stronger and more workable. Making any type of pastry on an incredibly hot day isn’t advisable as the warmer your dough is, the more fragile it will become. However, make sure that, once chilled, you allow your pastry to warm up a bit before rolling, otherwise it can be very hard to work with.
