Gluten Free mince pies

£2.50 for 4! I'm sure they're lovely but for the price they should be!

 I have an intermittent health complaint and I have to eat a plain diet. It's flared up recently and I've been really uncomfortably ill. It's made worse by any kind of junk food, especially anything processed or with any amount of chemical or additives. I'm so used to chemical free, simple homemade food that the mince pie, given to me at work (exceedingly good by all accounts!) made me so ill, that I was up all night. I really love mince pies and have made my own gluten free mince pie. I've tested them today and I will see if there is any adverse effect! I could buy them, but at £2.50 for four, they are too expensive for me. I made 12 for £1.48 at 12p each. Gluten free pasty is difficult to master and you have to make it slightly wetter and leave it to rest for longer. It then tends to fall apart when rolling, so you have to make it slightly thicker. It's much lighter than normal pastry and has a delicate crispiness to it. It tastes different too, more biscuit like than pastry. An acquired taste...........so I better go back and eat another mince pie to make sure I acquire it!

£1.82 a bag! Three times the cost of normal flour.



£1.48 for 12 homemade gluten free mince pies.



These were really light, crispy. A million times better than the over sugared stodgy shop bought ones.
