Questions about Mince pie
What is in the filling of a British mince pie?
It is usually sweet mincemeat: a mixture of dried fruit, sugar, spices and often suet, packed into pastry. Despite the name, most modern mincemeat contains no meat.
How long do you bake mince pies for?
For homemade pies, bake them at 200°C (180°C fan) for about 15–20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbling. Let them cool briefly in the tin before lifting them out.
How should you store mince pies?
Once completely cool, keep them in an airtight tin in a cool, dry place; they’ll usually keep for several days. Freeze them in a sealed container for up to three months, then thaw before serving.
Can you reheat mince pies?
Yes. Warm them in an oven at 160°C for about 5–10 minutes; this revives the crisp pastry. Avoid microwaving if you want the pastry to stay crisp, and take care because the filling gets very hot.
What do you serve with mince pies?
They’re often served warm with brandy butter, cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream. A little grated orange zest or a dusting of icing sugar also works well.
What is the difference between a mince pie and a mince meat pie?
A British mince pie is a small sweet pastry filled with dried-fruit mincemeat. A mince meat pie is generally a savoury pie filled with minced meat.
Are mince pies vegetarian?
Not always: traditional mincemeat may contain suet, which can be made from animal fat. Choose a pie made with vegetable suet or another clearly vegetarian filling if you want to avoid animal ingredients.
