How to make Dbees Excellent Mince pies First, make the filling...this needs to be done months ahead, but if you forget, cheat and buy it, just hide the jar! Add an extra splash of your favourite brandy to the pre brought mix to give it that “home-made” aroma. Remember to taste the brandy first; you don’t want to spoil the mix now do you? No like sweet mince? No problem, use apple pie filling with a dash or two of Rum to make it your own style. Better taste the Rum too; you don’t want to spoil this mix either do you? Then it’s on to the pastry, now what was it? Half fat to flour, pinch of salt and add an egg; Easy Peasy. Or you can just buy that too, well it’s the thought that counts and you still have to roll it out don’t you, or you can buy the pre-rolled variety from your local supermarket. No rolling pin? No problem! I use a wine bottle. Problem solved. Now if it was filled with ice-cold water it would keep the pastry cool, but what to do with the wine? Just have a little tast...
