Rub the flours, white flora and margarine together to form a lumpy texture. Add the sugar, egg and water and mix together. Knead slightly, then wrap in cling and chill in the fridge.
Meanwhile make the topping.
Cream the margarine and sugar together. Add the egg. Stir in the flour and vanilla essence. For best results fill a piping bag with this mixture. (Should do 2 dozen mincepies)
To assemble the mincepies
Roll-out your pastry and cut out rounds - and place in 12-hole tin. Spoon mincemeat (see recipe) on to this - do not overfill. Pipe the topping mixture around the top, leaving a hole in the centre.
think the topping was too soft, I piped it on, but after cooking it melted down. However........they taste great...soooo good......I shall be taking some into work on Monday.

It is an alternative to Lard, and can be bought in any good supermarket.
