gluten-free dairy-free mince pies

 

My husband used AI to do a mashup recipe for us using flour ingredients that I had on hand: almond and rice. 

Our sons and I made these delectable gluten-free and dairy-free mince pies during our New Year holiday this past January, and for the filling we used a jar of a British mincemeat that I bought online. 

For the crust, you'll need: 

• 2 cups rice flour, or 240 g
• 1 cup almond flour, or 100 g
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cold dairy-free butter or margarine, cubed
• 2 large eggs, cold

Do this: 

Mix dry ingredients. 

Rub in the butter, using fingertips, until crumbly.

Add eggs in, but if it's too dry, add in 1 or 2 tablespoons of cold water if needed, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Chill it for 30 minutes.

Roll to about 3 mm thick, cut, fill with your jarred mincemeat, and put star lids on if desired. Patch cracks if needed. 

Bake at 180 C for about 18-22 minutes. 

Cool and then enjoy Christmas for New Year's.
