In regards to cooking, it's important to take into account that everybody started somewhere. I do not know of a single person who came to be with a wooden cooking spoon and all set. There's a lot of learning that must be done as a way to be prolific cook and then there is obviously room for advancement. Not only would you will need to start with the basics when it comes to cooking but you almost need to begin again if understanding how to cook a fresh cuisine such as Chinese, Thai, or Indian food.

Healthy cooking can be difficult because many of us do not want to spend some time planning and preparing meals our own families won't eat. At the same time, we want our own families to be healthier so that we feel compelled to learn new and improved methods of cooking well balanced meals for our family to enjoy (and unfortunately in certain instances scorn).

Together with nourishment and weight known as at fault in so many health problems it's impossible to dismiss the significance of not eating ourselves but also of teaching our children the value of eating healthy. One way to insure that your loved ones are actually eating healthy is always to be certain that you are cooking healthy and nutritious foods to them. This doesn't necessarily mean that you cannot like the occasional calorie splurge and sometimes even you should not. The trick to cooking healthy is learning to control portions and understanding the importance of moderation.

Many things affect the quality of taste from Mince Pie, starting from the type of ingredients, then the selection of fresh ingredients, the ability to cut dishes to how to make and serve them. Don't worry if you want to prepare Mince Pie delicious at home, because if you already know the trick then this dish can be used as an extraordinary special treat.

To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have Mince Pie using 19 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook it.

I referred to the recipe from "Mrs. Gifford's English Pie and Pudding", but the ingredient amounts were only rough estimates. I checked how much of each ingredient would be needed, so you won't end up with any leftover filling. Pans with several small cavities on 1 pan rather than individually separated pans, are easier to use. I used Matfer brand tartelette pans. If you don't have tartelette pans, and don't mind the shape, you could form them into gyoza dumpling shapes. For 15 tarts, each 5 cm [2.0 in] in diameter. Recipe by Matu maman

Instructions to make to make Mince Pie

1. For the shortcrust pastry: Measure out the cake flour (and the salt) in a bowl, add the diced butter, and with your chilled fingertips, coat the butter with the flour and break it up into fine pieces. Work quickly to prevent the butter from warming up by the warmth of your fingertips.
2. Work until it's crumbly. Once it's mixed, gradually pour in the beaten egg, being careful not to add to much at once, and stir with a chopstick.
3. Once the mixture from Step 2 comes together, bring the dough together with your hands, divide into half, wrap with plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. For the filling: Finely chop the apple, raisins, sultana raisins, and orange peels, and leave the currants as-is.
5. Put all of the ingredients from Step 4 in a bowl, add the almond flour, brandy, spices, the zest of the lemon, and juice from 1/2 a lemon, and taste. Add more lemon juice if needed.
6. Take half of the dough out of the refrigerator, dust the surface, and with a rolling pin, roll it out until about 2 mm thick.
7. Cut out 7 cm and 6 cm diameter circles. Bring the remaining dough together, and again, roll out and cut out. You should be able to make 8 circles of each size with half of the dough.
8. Line the tart pan with the larger circle dough, put 1 spoonful of the filling, and cover with the smaller circle of dough. Brush the edges of the dough with the leftover beaten egg, and tightly seal the edges.
9. Repeat Step 6 through 8. If you have leftover dough, form the dough into a gyoza dumpling shape.
10. Bake in the oven at 200°C for 20 minutes until the surface is golden brown, and let it cool.
11. Dust with powdered sugar through a tea strainer, and it's done.
