Been baking
Dec. 10th, 2012 10:41 pmI'm trying to work out how to have Christmas not be a complete dietary disaster. Today was the turn of the Mince Pie Experiment.
I'd got a recipe I found online
I made up half quantities of that, noting that it produced about 840g of mincemeat, and feeling glad I'd only done half.
I used the mini muffin tray I'd got in Ampthill yesterday, and double-layer filo pastry, sprayed with FryLite.
I made 24 of them, using about 210g of the mincemeat and 4 sheets of filo.
Commercial normal mince pie - about 7 points
Commercial mini mince pie - 2-3 points
These - you get two of them for one point!
I've put the rest of the mincemeat in the fridge, and the next experiment will involve low-fat Jusrol shortcrust.
