Three Homemade Mince Pie Styles That Look Professionally Made (Using Shop-Bought ingredients)

Join Nicola from Cake Tastic for some festive Christmas baking! In this video, learn how to make delicious mince pies three different ways, using simple hacks to make shop-bought ingredients taste wonderfully homemade. If you are worried about making your own pastry, don't panic! Nicola shows you how to use pre-rolled shop-bought sweet pastry for the perfect easy base. You’ll learn which tin is best to use—shallow fairy cake tins rather than deep muffin tins—to ensure your pies bake perfectly without the filling running out. The secret to these pies is spicing up the shop-bought mincemeat. Discover ideas for adding extra flavour, such as chopped apple, orange zest, cranberries, or Nicola's favourite: a few teaspoons of brandy, rum, or sherry. This tutorial covers three distinct toppings to make your platter look professional: The Traditional Top: A full pastry lid with steam holes, sealed with a milk glaze. The Festive Shape: Using cutters like stars or Christmas trees for a modern look. The Crumble Top: A crunchy alternative made by "rubbing in" cold butter, flour, and caster sugar. Get tips on baking time (around 15 minutes at 180°C), ensuring you get a crisp base with no "soggy bottoms," and finishing them off with a snowy dusting of icing sugar.
