I assembled some (fruit) mince pies.
Have to ask… as a British guy who’s live in the USA for almost 20 years… is the “fruit” part a clarification this isn’t a “burger pie”?
Judging by the birds on the plate I’d wager OP is Australian. And we do usually call them fruit mince pies since “pies” mean “meat pies” and “mince” is another word for “ground meat”. So we we clarify with “fruit”.
Edit: my sleuthing talents were good enough to see the Australian birbs but not the OP’s server name “Aussie.zone” which is a little bit of a giveaway.
To a mostly Australian audience , clarification is not really needed, and certainly not for anyone British. I was trying to be mindful of a wider audience.
As a Slav, my first association with the word pie is either fruit or cheese. Now I’m wondering which countries would first think of meat.
I’m still learning to bake so I promise this is an earnest question- why no egg wash? Was that a conscious decision?
Just my laziness. I don’t feel like the eating experience is diminished, though.
