I have made puff pastry for mine for years. It is delicious but the drawback is it can dump the mincemeat onto the oven floor as the pies rise. Also, of course, it's extra high in calories. (I know that doesn't matter at Christmas but - you know!)

Which do you use/prefer, puff, shortcrust, or a sweet pastry?

TriciaF that was the GF pastry - I have never made successful GF pastry. Even the birds refused it.

However - my pastry and cakes were both much better before I had a fan-only oven.

What's GF pastry? I thought you meant the pastry that one of your relatives made smile

TriciaF it's gluten-free pastry - made for my DD and a complete disaster!
Mrs Crimble's is a gf pastry mix which I'll try next time.
