A festive feast to remember

Recipes by Claire Borg www.claireborg.com info@claireborg.com

Who does not love all baked goods that are part and parcel of the festive season? Christmas cakes and puddings, mince pies and logs. We all have favourite secret recipes and vow to be the best! These recipes are the basic mince pie recipe which is just tweaked with spiced meringue, and an easy light version of a mince pie…. a cupcake. So, still Christmassy, still keeping the mince pie in the highlight, but just that little bit different! RRP: €1.58

Classic Spiced Meringue Mince Pies Ingredients:

Meringue Topping:

-- 200 grams plain flour

To make the meringue, beat 3

-- 50 grams ground almonds -- 100 grams light brown sugar -- 100 grams butter -- 2 small eggs -- some lemon juice

Method: Rub in the butter into the flour. Add the sugar and the ground almonds. Add the egg and enough lemon juice (if needed) to bring dough together. Wrap in cling film and rest in fridge for

egg whites and ¼ tsp cream of tartar until they are nearly soft peaks,

at least 30 min. Roll out and cut into discs and line a lightly floured muffin tray. Fill with mince meat and bake in a hot oven for around 25 min (check that the base of mincepies is golden). Remove from tin and cool.

-- 50 grams muscovado sugar -- 120grams white sugar -- 1 ½ tsp baking powder -- sprinkle of mixed spice -- ½ tsp cinnamon -- 1 tsp lemon zest -- 100 ml vegetable oil -- 100 ml milk -- 1 egg

Method: 1. Sift together the flour, baking powder and spices. Add the sugars and lemon zest and mix well. In another bowl mix together the oil, egg and milk. Pour into the dry mix and fold together until combined. Fill the cupcakes only half way. Add a teaspoon of mincemeat to each cupcake, and bake in a hot oven set on 180 degrees Celsius (170 if fan operated) for about 20/25 minutes.
