Summary

Flaky, buttery hand pies filled with sweet strawberry jam and finished with a golden egg-washed crust and a sprinkle of cane sugar—simple, cozy, and irresistibly portable.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    On a lightly floured surface, roll one dough disc into a large oval or circle about 1/8 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Use a 4–5 inch round cutter to cut circles; gather scraps and re-roll. Repeat with the second disc to make 12 rounds total.

  4. 4

    Place 1–2 tablespoons strawberry jam on one half of each dough round.

  5. 5

    Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon, then crimp edges with a fork to seal.

  6. 6

    Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with cane sugar. Cut three small slits in each pie for steam to escape and place on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ingredients

  • 1 batch all-butter pie crust (or store-bought pie dough)
  • as needed all-purpose flour (for dusting/rolling out dough)
  • 1 1/2 cups strawberry jam
  • 1 egg (whisked with a splash of water (egg wash))

  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
