Right, am trying to please my mum, I need dairy free, gluten free pastry for mince pies. Help?

That's it really.
TIA

Use 'PURE' soya margerine and Doves Farm gluten free flour. Keep the marg really cold and rest the pastry for an hour or so after making, clingfilmed in the fridge. Brace yourself for it crumbling all over the place, cobble them together by patching and sticking the crumbled bits on with water - unlikely to be pretty but the will be edible in a crunchy sort of way. DH has his like this too - arghhh!

Mrs Crimbles do a gf/df pastry mix now which is less crunchy. Or you can add an egg to the Doves Farm recipe which helps.

Roll out between silicone sheets for best effect

Hadn't thought of using an egg. Good one. I have used that PURE stuff and the dove flour but find it just falls apart. Maybe is not cold enough.

Where do I find Mrs Crimbles stuff as well?

I found this mix in a health food section at our local farm shop, but you might find it in Morrisons etc.

The Village Bakery gf mince pies are really nice btw

I think they have potato in, she can't have that either. It's a real pita.

Sainsburys Free From GF mince pies are BOGOF right now?!
Maybe stick a bit of xanthan gum powder in with the flour might make it be less crumbly??
Good luck GF stuff is tricky, I attempted a toad in hole once......!!!!! Don't even try it, it was like a brick!!!

I think we checked those and they have potato in too. Will have another look when I am in sainsbos next though, thanks
