Mincemeat shortcake (a shortbread base, with mincemeat mixed with almonds on top, and decorated with Christmas shortbread shapes) is a speciality in our family and one of my favourites. This year I made some individual ones in my mini flan tins.
Verity! My goodness but I've fallen behind in your posts, what delicious goodies you have! I've indulged far too much this year and am about to take Deacon for a very long walk to ease my guilt. Your mince tarts remind me that I still have two in the freezer but yours are homemade and I bet much nicer.
Happy New Year Darlene - mincemeat shortcake is definitely one of my favourites! Mind you, we recieved a hamper yesterday with the most wonderful ginger biscuiots in which proves that shop things can be very very good too.
I love books, baking and my boyfriend, and love to write about the first two. I particular love "forgotten" books, books brought out of obscurity by republication and those still languishing in obscurity. I'm currently reading my way through all of the Virago Modern Classics, but taking in other books along the way.
(I am sure that this list will be added to, and I will probably make things from my regular repertoire along the way, especially for Mr W's packed lunches, but I need some focus for my baking!)
