HOW TO MAKE MINCE MAKE MINCE

PIES

The success of mince ples de- penda chiefly on the pastry. For plain mince pies use short pastry: for richer ones, rough puff or puff pastry. Whichever kind is used the pastry should be rolled out to less than a quarter of an inch in thickness, and the ruunds should be cut a lttle larger than the patty tins so that the pastry will not have to be stretched to ft. Al- ways add a good pinch of salt even for sweet pastry, and never add sugar until the butter has been rubbed in. Use as little liquid to mix as possible, never add any flour after the liquid, and four the board and rolling-pin only lightly Roll lightly but rapidly, and never over the edge of the pastry.

A good short pastry is made from half a pound of self-rasing flour, a pinch of salt, two ounces of butter, two ounces of lard, an gunce of castor sugar, a little cold water. and the yolk of an есь. Rub the fat into the flour, and sugar, egg, and water to make a stiff paste. Use the white of the egg to give a good finish to the mince ples: whisk it to 1 stim froth, brush over ples when they are baked, sprinkle with castor sugar and put back In the oven for a few minute

Pudding

A

The Christmas pudding should be steamed and not bolled, steaming makes it lighter. If several puddings are being made and there are not enough steam- ing compartmenta available, an ordiz.ary saucepan can be used, but It is best to stand the pud- ding-basin on a plate to keep it off the bottom of the saucepan.

Christmas puddings vary a great deal in richness. It is possible to make a plain one, without - any eggs or spirits at all using mile for the liquid. Here is a recipe. Put into a basin half a pound of flour, half a pound of bread- crumbs, and pound of finely chopped suet; mix well together. Add three-quarters of a pound of brown sugar a pound each of sultanas, raisins, and currants, a grated nutmeg, a dessertspoonful of mixed spice, and a teaspoonful of cinnamon, Grate Anely a quar- ter of a pound, of candled peel and stir it in also. Mix all these ingredients well before adding the liquid, which should consist of the Juice. of a lemon and about breakfastcupful of milk. A little more milk should be necessary, but the mixture should be fairly stif. Let it stand for a few hours to blend the flavours, then put it into the greased basins, which should not be more than three quarters full. The greased paper and a pudding-coth over the top, and steam for six to ten hours, according to the size of the pud- dings.
