cook in a hot oven 400 or 450

Will have to try this the next time I make some tarts. Love flaky pastry. For those of you who don't have self-rising flour on hand, you can substitute it with 7/8 cup of all-purpose flour plus 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder and a pinch of salt. If you don't have lard on hand, you can subsitute it with butter or veg. oil. The amount of the veg. oil would be 1/8 less than the butter substitution. In other words, lard and butter would be equal amount exchanges per cup but the oil would only be 7/8 cup.

How long do you normally bake the pies? 8-10 min? or longer? Also, what are mice pies? We don't have that in this country. Thank you Susie9 for posting your recipe!!
