Mincemeat Pie Recipe
So, now that all my readers have their homemade mincemeat ready in their fridge, I thought it was time to share the pie recipe. I hope you didn't have too much whiskey while preparing the recipe you can find here!
Maintenant que mes lecteurs savent tous préparer le traditionnel mincemeat grâce à cette recette, je pense qu'il est temps de partager avec vous la recette des tartelettes que l'on réalise ensuite avec.
So here's what you'll need:
- 2 cups flour,
- about 125 g butter (4.4 ounces) chopped,
- 2 tablespoons of sugar,
- 1 egg,
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice,
- enough water to make it look like a perfect dough.
Voilà ce dont vous avez besoin:
- 2 tasses de farine (2x250 mL),
- environ 125g de beurre en petits morceaux,
- 2 cuillerées à soupe de sucre,
- 1 oeuf,
- 2 cuillerées à soupe de jus de citron,
- un peu d'eau pour former une pâte.
Mix all the ingredients in the order written above. I personnally mix everything by hand, but I suppose you can do it with a special device whose name would begin with a K... Don't add to much water you don't want your dough to be all sticky.
Mélangez les ingrédients les uns après les autres. Je pétris à la main, mais si vous avez un robot, je suppose que cela fonctionne aussi. Ne rajoutez pas trop d'eau: la pâte ne doit pas être collante.
Roll the dough and cut cercles in it with a cutter or a bowl. Put the cercles of dough in muffin pans. Add a good spoonful of mincemeat on your cercle of dough. Then cut dough in the shape you want, I went with stars, and top the pies with them.
Etalez la pâte et couper des cercles avec un emporte-pièce ou en utilisant un bol. Foncez des moules à muffins avec vos ronds de pâte pour former des bases de tartelettes. Garnissez d'une bonne cuillerée de préparation mincemeat. Puis coupez le reste de pâte dans la forme que vous voulez (j'ai fait des étoiles) et recouvrez vos tartelettes avec.
Put in your oven, pre-heated at 350°F, for about 20 minutes.
Mettez au four préchauffé à 180°C pour environ 20 minutes.
Enjoy with a nice cup of Christmas tea.
A déguster avec une bonne tasse de thé de Noël.
Now, as a blogger I know I should have spend the two days I had between school and traveling decorating the Cottage for Christmas... But I chose to spend that time at the beach...
En tant que blogueuse, je sais que j'aurais dû passer le temps que j'avais de libre entre l'école et mon départ pour rendre visite à ma famille à décorer le Cottage... Mais j'ai choisi d'aller à la plage!
Have a merry Christmas!
Joyeux Noël à vous!
See you soon,
A bientôt,
PS: I'm sharing the recipe with:

My mother used to make mince meat cookies and I would wrinkle up my nose and refuse to even try them. These little tarts of yours look so good I'm going to save this post and give them a try. (I never, ever, ever save recipes. LOL) Merry Christmas to you and a prosperous New Year. From Oregon USA

Sandra,

Have a wonderful Christmas. Chel x
ReplyDeleteI've never tried adding lemon to pastry, it sounds intriguing and your mince pies look delicious.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family Magali xx
Safe travelles, Magali. Merry Christmas to you and your family. xo Patty

DeleteMagali
Delightful, Magali! I just love the pastry stars and your table is so pretty with the red transferware, white and the candles. I think spending time on the beach was far and above the best decision you could have made. And I think the "Merry Christmas" written in the sand is the perfect decoration. Happy Christmas! ~ Nancy
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! Enjoy this time with your family. Looking forward to your wonderful blog in the New Year! Take care, Kathleen in Arizona, USA
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kathleen! I'm taking a few days off with family and will resume the blog with the new year. Enjoy the last day of the "old year"!

ReplyDeleteThanks! According to my family, they also tasted good ;)
DeleteCela fait un bon moment que je n'etais pas passee par ton blog, Magali , mais je viens de me rattraper en lisant tous tes articles precedents. Merci pour la recette du mincemeat.

Je te souhaite un bon bout d'an et que le nouvel an t'apporte la joie et le bonheur! Ton cottage devient de plus en plus beau!!!!!! Bisous!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMagali, your Christmas bites are scrumptious and very cute. I love the stars both on them, and the hanging ones in your cottage! What a lovely Christmas card your message in the sand would make!:))
ReplyDeleteHope your Christmas was a pleasant one, filled with sweetness and peace.
Have a happy, healthy 2015!
Poppy
J'ai eu la chance de les goûter... Ils sont délicieux ! Mais je n'ai pas le courage de les préparer !
ReplyDeleteBises
The pies are so cute Magali! Happy New Year to you too!
ReplyDeleteSherry
My husband loves Mincemeat Pie. So I made him some Mincemeat Tarts. But yours are prettier than mine.
ReplyDeleteI used my regular home made pie crust. But your idea of cutting stars, to make the "top crust" is so much better than how I made mine. Second time, I will use your idea, and they will be better. :-)
Happy countdown to the New Year,
Tessa~
Lovely. I'd choose the beach too. Bonne Annee!
ReplyDeleteMagali, do you know that pie crust is my nemesis? And do you want to know why that is? "Enough water to make it the perfect dough." Sigh. I live in the desert. This makes things more difficult, you know. I just want to add such and such amount of water every time and have it be perfect. I have tried everything...even using vodka in place of some of the water. It never works out perfectly. I don't think I've used egg or lemon juice in my dough, though....maybe that's my problem? Having said all that, your pies are gorgeous! I love the star and would definitely have a nibble of one of these with a cup of tea. I just got a brilliant idea!! We should have an exchange. You make me mincemeat pies and I'll make you a pecan pie. Then we'll ship them half way across the world. :)
ReplyDeleteBonjour Magali! Merci de m'avoir laissée un commentaire; c'est très emouvant de savoir que je "connais" des blogueuses si loin mais qui sont si proche à la fois. Je vous embrasse!!!!! Anita
ReplyDeleteHello Magali, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. The beach looks wonderful! So does your mincemeat pies...Yum!
ReplyDeleteI am wishing you a New Year full of happy opportunities : )
Hugs,
Terri
They look absolutely amazing, Magali! I hope you ship to Wisconsin. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week, friend.
Hi Magali, What beautiful little pies that I know has to be delicious, especially with Christmas tea. Love the pretty red and white tables cape too. Anytime at the beach is glorious!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year............
Hi: I am going to try making those pies. They look so good. Wishing you a wonderful New Year! Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteHi Magali, I have never tried or made mincemeat. Would love to sometime! I was surprised to find out this year that it is my father in laws favorite pie. Love the little stars on top! Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Truly these tasty morsels were probably the star of the Christmas festivities.
