Eating those babies was a near-religious experience, what with the combination of the spicy filling and buttery crust - OH-MY-GOD! I know it's a seasonal thing, but is there anywhere in the NY area (Westchester, the Bronx or Manhattan, pref.) where I could find them? TIA!

It's also possible to make your own -- I've used muffin tins, which yield a slightly higher proportion of filling than the ones I've had in Britain, a good prepared filling, and a good homemade shortcrust. Delightful. Link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/amuses Wed Jan 07 15:24:15 -0800 2004 1427264 0 Caitlin Wheeler 2 1427272 I believe that Myers of Keswick actually makes their own mini-ones. Don't know if they'll have them anymore now that the holidays are over. Thu Jan 08 11:22:54 -0800 2004 1427266 0 Chorus Girl 3 1427273 Myers had mince pies Tuesday but you can call to check.
