I will, later. I make an alternative to mince pies that is very popular.
The cheese alternative turned out well. Next time (always a next time) I'll
add a little cheese to the dough, I think. I used 250g of strong cheddar
for the roll. I think perhaps 300-350g might be a bit better - possibly
with a dash of nutmeg?
Your dough recipe is very flexible.
