DawnyG, They are very different from mincemeat pies. They don't actually have spices in them.

Kiwozzie, In Scotland we do too.

DawnyG, They taste nothing like mince pies!! Filling is totally different!!!

You would not find it as such in a shop; there would be many regional versions/names, probably the most common would be Eccles Cakes. Even more famous is the Garibaldi biscuit (also containing currants) known as a Squashed Fly Biscuit.

I love fly cemeteries! But I've never seen them made with puff pastry. What a dreadful departure from a brilliant recipe!

These look like my butter tart squares with another layer of pastry on top.
