    I just grease and flour a bun tin and it works really well. They come out easy and look well. The pound shops often have the foil case.

    As said if you grease the tin they should be fine, they probably will look even nicer if you don't use a case they should come out more rounded. You could pop them into Xmassy paper cases after but I think they look nice just piled up in a little Xmas box or plate with a sprinkle of icing sugar.

    I used the washable silcone fairy bun cases to line a 12 bun tray, they worked a treat. You could use double ordinary grease proof ones too I guess.

    My Mam's sweet pastry has icing sugar in it, so it is a bit too crumbly when cooked if you do not bake it in a case. Kinda moulds the pies and they don't fall apart.

    Anyways, have a batch of the pastry in the freezer and two jars of her homemade mince in the cupboard. So I am being eco friendly by re-using the silcone bun cases when we bake more mince pies. Part of my 2011 'try to do better' list.
