Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) very cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3–4 tbsp ice cold water
- 1 large egg, beaten for egg wash
Filling
- 6–8 tbsp triple berry jam (homemade or store-bought)
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 – 1 tbsp whole milk
- Freeze-dried raspberries, optional
Instructions
Dough
- Place flour, sugar, and salt into the bowl of a food processor and quickly pulse a few times to combine. Add in the diced cold butter and pulse again a few times, until the butter is breaking into smaller pieces, roughly the size of large peas.
- Next, add in the ice cold water, a tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough begins to hold together. Turn dough out onto a clean work surface and knead until all pieces are combined. Form into a 1 inch thick disk and cover in plastic wrap.
- Chill in the fridge at least 1 hour.
Assembly
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- On a floured surface, roll out dough to between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick. Cut out twelve 4 x 2 1/2 inch rectangles.
- Place 6 rectangles, evenly spaced, onto a lined baking sheet. Dollop about 1 tbsp of jam in the center of dough. Brush the edges of each rectangle lightly with the beaten egg. Place a second rectangle of dough on top and press the edges together with a fork to seal. Use a sharp pairing knife to cut a slit in each hand pie to allow steam to release.
- Once all hand pies are assembled place in the freezer for 15 min.
- Brush the chilled pies with the beaten egg wash. Bake for 18-20 min or until puffed and golden brown. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Glaze
- Gently whisk together all ingredients, starting with 1/2 tbsp of milk. Add the remaining milk as necessary to reach a pourable but not too runny consistency.
- Top each cooled hand pie with a bit of the glaze. Sprinkle on dehydrated raspberries if desired.
Notes
- This recipe is easily doubled to make twice as many hand pies!
