Custard & Crumble Mince Pies

d butter, 125g unsalte fridge cold from the ur, plus extra 185g plain flo for dusting caster sugar 3 tbsp golden 1 large egg Makes eat 12 180g mincem d ar st cu ot 120g p

How to make...

1 First, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/

gas 6 and put a baking sheet on the middle shelf.

5

Sprinkle some flour over your work surface and over the pastry ball and roll it out to the thickness of two ÂŁ1 coins. Stamp the pastry with an 8cm cutter, re-rolling the trimmings to make 12 rounds. Gently push the rounds of pastry into the bun tin.

6

Spoon 1 heaped tsp of the custard into each pastry case, followed by the mincemeat on top. Add the final 1 tbsp sugar to the smaller bowl of crumb mix.

Pinch it together to make bigger clumps and mound it on top of the mincemeat.

Slide the bun tin on top of the baking sheet and bake for 15 mins until golden brown and the custard and mincemeat are starting to bubble.

7

Cool for 15 mins, then carefully lift the pies onto a rack and leave to cool.

Will keep for 2 days in an airtight tin.

2 Next, cut the butter into small cubes,

sift the flour into a large mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Using your fingers, rub the butter and flour together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add in 2 tbsp of the sugar then gather a heap (85g) of the crumbs into a smaller bowl and set aside.

3 Using two small bowls, carefully crack

the egg on the side of one bowl. Let the white drain away from the yolk into one bowl and put the yolk into the other bowl. Beat the egg yolk, then add it to the bigger bowl of butter and flour and mix.

4 Then with your hands, knead the pastry

a few times until smooth and squeeze the crumbs together to make a ball.

REVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR:

FOOD HAMPER & NEW TOY APPEAL HELP SOMEONE THIS WINTER WITH A REVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR FOOD HAMPER OR A NEW TOY What a year! There are more families than ever who could do with some extra support – and this is the perfect way to show them that we care this winter.

For the fourth year, we will be helping you to help your neighbours locally – and we’re excited to be adding a New Toy Appeal too!

HOW TO TAKE PART? It’s simple.

REVERSE ADVENT FOOD CALENDAR All you need is a sturdy box/basket, and then each day leading up to Christmas you add a new item. The idea is that you add 24 items, just like an advent calendar.

WHAT TO INCLUDE? When planning your box, think of staple foods that will feed a family. Items such as tinned and jarred food (including meat and meat pies), pasta, rice, biscuits, UHT milk, baby formula, fruit juice, and anything else that has a long shelf life (no fresh goods please).

NEW TOY APPEAL If you would like to buy and donate a New Child’s Toy for Christmas – please purchase the toy – try not to buy toys that need expensive batteries. Please do not gift wrap the toy – we can do that nearer the time – once we agree the child’s age group. But feel free to supply gift wrap if you would like. Please note we can only accept new toys.

If you can not get out of the house but would like to contribute – we can accept a donation and shop for you – just contact us for details.

Our friends at Hampshire Group Ltd are helping us with our appeal for 2020.

Once your food box or your toy is ready, please drop off to our office at: The Directory Group, 1 Viceroy Court, Bedford Rd, Petersfield GU32 3LJ (8.30am – 5pm) Tel: 01730 260746 Or to Hampshire Distance Training, Rear of Units 1-3 Solent Building, Southmoor Lane, Havant, PO91JW (8.30 – 4pm) Tel: 02393 071852 If you can’t drop off, we can arrange to pick it up for you. Email Lily@thedirectorygroup.co.uk If you have any questions or call the office on 01730 260746 and ask for Lily who can help.

We will then donate all the boxes and toys to local food banks and families in need.

To advertise your business call 01730 260746 or email sales@thedirectorygroup.co.uk Last drop off/collection date is 16th December.

Our Yearly Round-Up! Hello Human Friends, it’s Barney here, the TDG office dog.

In light of what has been an undoubtedly strange and tricky year for many of us, I wanted to take a moment to look back on what the TDG Team have achieved this year and celebrate the positives - because we’ve done plenty during 2020!

Back in April, we celebrated our 15th Birthday! For the past 15 years our objective has always been the same; to help support, drive and grow the community and the 100’s of brilliant local businesses within it, whilst communicating, engaging and assisting our fabulous local readers. Amazingly, there has only been ONE month when we couldn’t produce our clever little magazines over the past 15 years.

We are always proud to support local and national charities, who work so hard to better our lives. With BIG thanks to your help and donations, we have continued to help local community projects including local food banks, sewing and delivering scrubs for the NHS, making activity packs for people who were most isolated as a result of the pandemic and for this month, continuing with our annual reverse advent calendar boxes.

We kept you entertained with competitions, puzzles, quizzes, crafts and mouth-watering

recipes. We hope you enjoyed our articles full of tips for gardening, exercising, mental health and more.

On the business side of things, we launched two NEW quarterly magazines to distribute into areas such as Chichester, Haslemere, Grayshott and Hindhead – to help businesses target more customers. Our bi-monthly luxury lifestyle sister magazine, Beautiful South, celebrated its 4th Birthday in May AND we launched our Umbrella company, Hampshire Media Group, so that all our services, including our Leaflet Design, Print and Distribution service, can be found under one roof at www.hampshiremediagroup.co.uk.

And all whilst doing this, I’ve managed to squeeze in lots of naps, treats and walkies!

We look forward to what 2021 has in store and can’t wait to take you along the way with us.

See you next year, Love Barney, Woof Woof!

Some of the charities we supported this year include: Samaritans, Home Start Butser, Stem4, Portsmouth Down Syndrome Association, Movember, Hayling RNLI Lifeboats, Target Ovarian Cancer, Breast Cancer Now, Hayling Island Community Centre, Rowans Hospice, Petersfield Rugby Club, Mental Health Foundation, MIND, Calm, Hampshire Guide Dogs Havant & Hayling.

Make Your Natural Wood Look Even More Beautiful!

HOW? By Adding Texture!

Do your wood floors need a bit of tender loving care this Autumn? Our ‘Brush’ technology gives texture to your existing wood floors, emphasising its natural tones and grains, ultimately creating a rustic yet trendy feel throughout your home. The ‘Brush’ technique allows for a ‘two-tone’ effect, which can be used to stain floors with an endless combination of natural colours, creating character and depth, which is bespoke to every home.

Even tired parquet blocks can be made to look fantastic! This parquet was brushed, stained black & then oiled.

If you’re looking for a balanced, beautiful design and rugged durability, then a Textured floor is definitely for you!

Call for your FREE quotation today on 07974 921743 or 0800 6956956 or email: admin@ultimate-floor-sanding.co.uk For more information, please visit www.ultimate-floor-sanding.co.uk Here is an example of an oak floor that was brushed, then stained and oiled. The Client was so pleased; she remarked: “ You have turned our house into a home.”

So, how is it done? To put it simply, we use a combination of wire & nylon rotary brushes, which are “brushed” along the floor to remove the softer grains, leaving the wood with a hardened textured finish. This also has the added benefits of making your pre-existing light scratches and minor damage even less apparent on your floor and adds an extra element of slip-resistance! Afterwards, the wood is finished with Hard-Wax oil. If desired, different hints of natural wood stains can be added to create an exciting “two-tone” effect.

The brush technology works best with hardwoods that have prominent and significant grain and natural veins, such as oak.

The committed team at Ultimate Floor Sanding diligently carry out all the work needed to restore and revamp your wooden floors. We use the safest methods, which are clean and environmentally friendly. Our unique system is 99% dustless, which is healthier for you and your family.

We’re here to make things better...

Get back to being a family member again Coming to terms with the fact that your loved one needs constant care can be difficult. We’ve helped many families strike a better balance.

Enjoy your time spent together and get back to being a family member and friend again, rather than being their carer.

Is a live-in carer the solution?

We understand your situation You know they still value their independence, but you worry about their safety when no one else is around. And as much as you want to, you just can’t be there 24 hours a day.

They need constant support and supervision and you may have already considered the possibility of nursing or residential care, but you hate the thought of taking them away from their home comforts; familiar surroundings and routines. You worry about the number of people your loved one comes into contact with. You want a safe and consistent, high standard of care.

Live-in care provides a cost effective, minimally disruptive way of allowing your loved one to remain in their own home, supported and well looked after so that you can relax knowing everything is under control.

Get in touch with us to find out how we could help you and your loved one stay at home in familiar surroundings, with the care and support that they need to stay safe.
