Festive Treats

5 December 2024

With lots of keen bakers among our residents, it was time to make some mince pies! 

We perfected our shortcrust pastry recipe with Chef Beata’s help. 

We also talked about the history of mince pies and learnt that they dated back to 12th century. 

Betty really enjoyed rolling out the pastry, while Sylvia – who was famous for baking wedding cakes – proved that she could whip up a stir.
