Christmas Bakes:
I have seen most of the bakers get confused about Tarts and Pies. What is the difference between tart and a pie? The only difference is that the tarts are shallow and the pies are covered on the top with filling in it. In fact, for a very long time tart was called shallow open pie and the definition is still used in England.
Christmas is a good time for the bakers to experiment new bakes. Cookies, Breads, pies, tarts are much needed to make the celebrations special. I would say your Christmas is incomplete without baking this cute Mini Christmas Pie. It has the delicious Christmas soak filling adding to the deliciousness. So here is the procedure to bake this.
