Strawberry Hand Pies
- Comments()
- Yield Makes 6
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups strawberries, hulled and cut in half or quarters, depending on size
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- All-purpose flour, for work surface
- 1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Strawberry Hand Pies
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Sanding sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat (a French nonstick baking mat). In a medium bowl, add strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch; stir to combine, set aside.
-
On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Using a 5-inch cookie cutter, cut out 6 rounds. Transfer rounds to prepared baking sheet.
-
Place about 2 tablespoons of the strawberry mixture onto one-half of each round. Lightly brush egg around the edge of the covered half of each round. Fold remaining dough over to enclose, forming a half moon. Gently press edges together to seal. Brush the tops of each pie with egg. Using a paring knife, slash the top of each pie. Sprinkle generously with sanding sugar.
-
Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer pies to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Or let cool completely, and store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days.
These were great! I diced up the strawberries in small pieces so they would fit better in the dough. This is my second time making them. Made them for a dinner party and everyone gave them rave reviews! The pastry dough is light and flaky. So good!
Had a lovely picnic today with these. http://newhomemade.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/strawberry-hand-pies

Just baked this up and it was a hit. The crust was so flaky and perfect. The strawberries are juicy. It tastes great warm out of the oven with some ice cream.
Tasty! Strangely, even better on day two, perhaps because the juices all had a chance to meld together.
Wow...this is so good. I made it for my dad and he loved it :)
definetly recommend it
THE MOST delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life.. seriously.. the strawberry filling is so juicy and delicious while the crust is flaky and tender.. really. a great recipe.. yummm
