This is an update of a much-loved recipe…
…inspired by a visit to the Wimpole Estate in Cambridgeshire.
In four weeks’ time we will be waking up to Boxing Day.
It’s time to start eating mince pies.
Gochugaru Girl loves savoury pastries. This harks back to her childhood in Kuala Lumpur, when her parents shopped at Cold Storage or as it was also known, the Weld Supermarket. As a treat for the children, they stopped by the bakery and picked up such delights as sausage rolls, beef pies and chicken pies.
The Weld still exists, in grown-up form and in a city that I now hardly recognise. The existence of a very high crime rate and never ending construction projects makes KL a sort of Gotham City meets Legoland.
