I quite liked the fact that the dough wasn't too rich - it was a good contrast with the fruit mince filling, and it made me feel better about eating them than having a mince pie! Yours look absolutely lovely Johanna and to be honest I ate most of mine without the lemon icing!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-29056368014997692822011-01-22T23:32:51.517+11:002011-01-22T23:32:51.517+11:00Thanks Hannah - glad to help out :-) there are to...Thanks Hannah - glad to help out :-) there are too many tempting recipes out there without adding to them :-) (so I wont tell you that you could easily make this fruit mince without orange)<br /><br />Thanks Lisa - will be interested to see how you go with scrolls - I have seen scone scrolls as well as yeasted ones so there are lots of options for you to try<br /><br />Thanks Mary - welcome - glad you are enjoying the recipes - still dream of a scratch and sniff computer screen for food blogs :-)<br /><br />Thanks Lorraine - I love fruit breads too - though they seem more frivolous than savoury bread so I don't often make them :-(<br /><br />Thanks Chele - with these recipes - the leftover mincemeat was a bonus rather than a burden - good luck with your leftovers<br /><br />Thanks Lexi - mashed potato is so good in bread and baking - foccaccia sounds yummm<br /><br />Thanks Joanne - yes this is much different to mince pies - worth a try if you happen to have any fruit mince in your vicinity (pantry or local shops) or you feel like making it<br /><br />Thanks Alisa - I wish I had one of these too<br /><br />Thanks Helen - the dan lepard bread baking method is great - esp when watching tv :-)<br /><br />Thanks Nic - I am very partial to chelsea buns<br /><br />Thanks Ricki - you could always try a yeast free scone dough instead of yeasted dough for the scrolls - I prefer them to the muffins but both are excellentJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-29117963241411591542011-01-21T12:01:11.333+11:002011-01-21T12:01:11.333+11:00They both sound great but of course I'd go for...They both sound great but of course I'd go for the yeast-free muffins ;).
