How To Bake Mince Pies (With Frangipane Tops)

Please help us to find bad videos. Broken or unappropriated video content?
Hello everyone and welcome back to another bake. Christmas is nearly here so I thought I'd show you guys how to make this classic recipe for a festive treat. I'm baking some great Mince Pies with a frangipane top - delicious. These mince pies consist of a sweet pastry case, a juicy mincemeat filling that's warm and brimming, and then each pie is topped off with a soft and slightly chewy frangipane case.
This recipe is my adaptation of both a James Martin and Paul Hollywood recipe.

Ingredients :
• One pre-made Sweet Pastry. I show you how to make this here :
--
• 100g Soft Unsalted Butter
• 100g Golden Caster Sugar
• 30g Plain Flour (extra for rolling)
• Two Free-range Eggs
• 70g Ground Almonds
• 30g Flaked Almonds
• 175g Dried Currants and Sultanas (predominately Currants)
• 300g good quality Mincemeat (I use M&S)
• One cap of Orange-flavoured alcohol
--
• 3-4 inch greased Mince Pie tray
--
Hope you enjoy this bake as much as I enjoyed making it! Let me know in the comments if you have tried this recipe or have any tips/ variations you've discovered whilst making these tasty Christmas treats.

Thanks for watching and see you in the next bake!
