Master Baker

One of our favourite Christmas treats in England to eat are Mince Pies. Lily had her first one a couple of weeks ago and loved it and wanted them now here too. Lily loves to particpate in baking anything even if the pastry comes out of a box which this time it did since we were very short on time (I know the shame of it all but I had to admit to this since the box is plainly visible in the photo, next time I will be more careful!). We just wanted to eat them and the fastest way to get there was fine with all of us.

Oooppsie...she got a little over zealous with this one and it hit the deck!

Yikes....look at the precision with the knife.

They turned out fine and Lily has eaten more than anyone which is surprising because mince pies are not very sweet and are quite a mature taste but she tasted them in England and loved them and couldn't wait to make them here.

    I find it amazing that she loves them. Mince is something that has never been for me...not even as a big girl. At Lily's age I probably would have run away from a mince pie ;0)

    Good for her!

    I haven't quite matured like Lily (I do not have a taste for Mince Pies), but way to go Lily.

    She seems so grown up on all your posts, you sure she's only 4???

    OK, I have got to get my hands on some of these mince pies. I have never tried them, but have been hearing such good things lately.
    Do you think Lily could whip up a batch and bring them to us????

    I have never tried a mince pie! I don't even think I've had the opportunity to!

    Lily looks like she's a good helper in the kitchen. I look forward to cooking with my girl someday, too.

    Merry Christmas to you, Dawn!

    I don't know what mince pies are, but they look good and she did a fabulous job.
