Show more commentsDelicious taste and flavour of festive spices without pastry! Quick to make and a great alternative to mince pies. I added a level teaspoon of baking powder to the recipe. These are going to be a favourite bake.
These are just gorgeous. Tried one warm from the oven, there may not be any left when hubby gets home!
Just made these and they're fab, very tasty, I only had demarera sugar so used this instead but still taste great, thanks.
