Rustic mincemeat lattice tart

Once again "persuaded" to make mince pie before December - but resisted the crime of mince pies before December by making one big lattice pie... pastry, 2 jars of mincemeat, sprinkle with sugar, cook.  Easy, but really.... it' still November... only 2 birthdays this week and lots of pleading made me weaken.

British Baking Week: Day 2: Belgian Waffles

I have been spoilt by an early birthday present - an authentic American waffle baker.  Victim insisted on a trial straight away - so Belgian waffles with ice cream and maple syrup for pudding it was.  I never knew there was yeast in waffles!  I wont repeat full recipe here - because the cream, butter and sugar are just too naughty... google for a recipe.  Thus far 4 waffles have been made and consumed - at £75 each!  We need to eat more to bring the price down!
