Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I’ve made the pastry for these many times, and it works great. I love the hint of orange in it; I have filled with different mincemeats (David Lebovitz, Pam Corbin etc), but I always use this pastry recipe. Freezes and reheats perfectly, even in the microwave.

    Lovely and light pastry. My 5 year old declared this is the best mince pie. (I prefer the frangipane mince pie on the next page myself. I used a normal tart pie instead of a mini one and baked at 200C for 15 min.

    These are my default mince pies as I make them every year. The pastry is very delicate and they make a nice mini mouthful. Many mince pies are too heavy and filling but these are very light to eat.
