More Christmas baking

[Dave Smith]

I was feeling a little guilty about a serious lack of Christmas spirit
but then it started to snow so I was inspired to come home and bake some
mincemeat tarts. I had a jar of Robertson's mincemeat filling that I got
at the end of the season last year. I made two batches of dough, opened
up the mincemeat and laced it with some brandy. I used to make small
tarts but decided this year to make the bigger ones. It is probably
because I am lazy and hate fiddling with the small tarts.

The first batch is out and cooling and the second batch is in the oven,
and then there is a third one for when that one is done. There was
enough dough and mincemeat left to make one very large tart using a
Pyrex ramekin.

We have a cheesecake in the oven. In a little under 10 minutes,
he'll pour the sour-cream topping on it and then back in the oven
for a few minutes.

I have batches of almond tarts and vanilla sablés cooling now.
Yesterday I made chocolate crunch and GF choc chip cookies, the
latter to a NYT recipe that has proven to be popular. These are
for my BC family. On Monday I'll be making the same things for my
Calgary family.

You should send a fancy box of your luscious treatz to President - elect
TRUMP, Graham...

When he receives it, he'll exclaim, "OH, a lovely gift from Canada, our
51st state...!!!"

Sounds good. Since you have a number of people to bake for you might
consider saltine crackeer cookies. They are incredibly easy to make and
very tasty. To the best of my memory you line baking pan with foil, lay
the saltine crackers in the pan. Heat up some butter and sugar in a pan
boil it for three minutes and then spread it over the crackers ,
sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and put it in a preheated oven
until the chips melt. Sprinkle some nuts on top. Cut them while they are
still warm.

It's worth trying just to see how easy it can be to make something so good.

I made some pastry the other day using GF flour. It was a different
brand to the usual one I bake with for my gluten-intolerant friends.
When baked, it was so fragile that the tartlets were difficult to pick
up without them immediately crumbling. I usually buy the S/M own brand
but thought that the Robin Hood brand would be better. Boy, was I wrong.
It was OK in cookies but there one uses a couple of eggs as binders. I
used one egg yolk for the pastry but it clearly wasn't enough.

I may have to try GF flour so I can bake something for my son who was
recently diagnosed celiac.

Officer, have you ever had any genetic tests done? Some genes cause
crippling or even deadly medical conditions, and you sure have a lot of
that.
