Here is recipe I came up with while cooking roast beef dinner. These Yorkies stay tall and have a perfect hollow centre for lots of yummy gravy.

Mincemeat is a traditional English treat that is usually used as filling for mince pies during Christmas, but it tastes great mixed with vanilla ice cream, as well.

A family favorite my uncle makes. They are a wonderful balance between salty and sweet, with a combination of crispy, chewy, and crunchy textures. My family destroys a tray of these in fifteen minutes.

What's called "jelly" in America is called "jam" in England, and the English call the American's "gelatin", "jelly"!

I make these pasties about once a month for my family and extended family. I weigh my ingredients for accuracy and flavor.
