Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp ice water
- 1 cup filling (fruit jam or spiced meat)
- Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water)
Instructions
- 1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough forms.
- 2. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 3. Prepare Your Filling: While the dough chills, prepare your filling of choice—either fruit jam or cooked seasoned ground meat.
- 4. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into doll shapes.
- 5. Assemble Hand Pies: Place half of the doll-shaped pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spoon filling onto each, and top with another piece of dough. Seal edges with a fork.
- 6. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush tops with egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
