Taking what we learned last night, we decided to make mince pie again, this time for dessert with my parents.
This time, we used a muffin pan as the mold for the pies; this was a much better, more appropriate size. But in the spirit of experimentation, we used two different types of mince - a side by side comparison of homemade and store bought - to understand if making mince from scratch is worth it. (The answer is yes, at least for our palettes.)
A quick side note on process: rolling out pie dough was actually kind of a pain. My parents have a tortilla press, so we used that to create the crust and it worked so well! I'm now asking for a tortilla press for Christmas (hint, wink ;)
