It’s never too early for mince pies! 😋

Ok it is a little early, but we just can’t help craving our first mince pies of the season! Mince pies are often made with a crumbly shortcrust pastry and a sweet mincemeat filling of dried fruit and a hint of brandy. But why not try baking your mince pies with a twist this year, by using puff pastry or filo pastry? You could also add additional ingredients to a readymade mincemeat filling, we love adding pistachios and sour cherries for a bit of extra wow factor 🤩

We also wanted to let you know in plenty of time that Cookpad will be here to help you in all your foodie planning for the festive period. Keep an eye out for our handy blog posts and newsletters, and don't forget to check the featured recipes on our Inspiration page too.
