These bars are wonderful. I use homemade mincemeat. No meat in ours. My family has canned this for 4 generations now. Everyone I have served these to rave over the taste. I have made these 4 times in the last 3 months. Thank you for a wonderful recipe. I even made a batch for Thanksgiving.
Another nice recipe. I love all.......your recipes. And I must say you teach and explain everything so well. So, thank you so.....much! And I did start a little baking with your cakes.....it did die off somewhat. I would love to continue it but, people tend to go elsewhere to buy their goodies. But, I still love watching all your videos. I never get tired. Thank you again.
*Joy of Baking:* That's a great tip you mentioned, to break up the batter rather than leaving it in a clump in the middle and then trying to spread it out - I've never thought of that! The Mincemeat Bars look delicious!! Thanks Stephanie! Beautiful doggie too!! : D
Love this idea, however has I am not a lover of mincemeat could this be done with apples. If so how would you recommend doing the apples. Would they be chunky apples or pureed apples?
I found the dough to be too soft and not enough to cover the pan so I looked at other recipes for shortbread and added another 100 g of flour. Being British I work by weight rather than cups. It was delicious so thought I’d post this incase other weighers have the same problem. As always I loved watching your demo, thank you.
The recipe was tested using weight measurements, not cups. I always use weight and then convert the weight measurements to cup measurements. If you added an extra 100 grams of flour, while still good, the shortbread wouldn't be as buttery crisp.
Thats interesting, thank you for replying, maybe I did something wrong then, although the ones I made were delicious, I will try your quantities again.
When using the fork,,,,do you poke it all the way to the metal pan or just half way? The reason I ask is ,,wonder if the juice of the middle would run out in the bottom and causes the dough to be still wet dough....
