Why you’ll love this recipe….

Do you need anything special to create this recipe?

I highly recommend using mini foil making cases to create the pies or one of these mini pie trays from Amazon.

To keep the Syn content low we are using a star shape to create the pie topping and I can highly recommend this collection of star cutters which offer a number of sizes for creating a range of recipes. Including my DELICIOUS Christmas biscuits.

Is this recipe Slimming World friendly?

The whole recipe is worth 96 Syns making each pie 4 Syns each. If you wish to make larger or smaller pies feel free to divide the syns accordingly. So it can be very Slimming World friendly as long as you are not planning on devouring the entire lot in one sitting.
