Best 3 Strawberry Jam Hand Pies Recipes

STRAWBERRY-JAM HAND PIES

Steps:

• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out pastry sheets to 1/8 inch thick. Cut each sheet into quarters and place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon jam in center of each piece, brush edges with egg yolk, fold into triangles, and press tightly to seal. Freeze pies until firm, 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake pies until golden and puffed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack. Whisk lemon juice and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cooled pies and let set 20 minutes.

MINI STRAWBERRY HAND PIES

Steps:

• Bring pie crust to room temperature. Place strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out pie crust. Use a 4-inch pastry cutter to cut out 6 rounds.
• Divide strawberries equally amongst the 6 rounds. Wet fingers with water and run them along the edges of each round. Fold rounds in half and press edges together using the tines of a fork until sealed. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and cut a small slit in each pie.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

SUN-DRIED-STRAWBERRY HAND PIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest; set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and 1 cup sugar; beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add egg, and beat until just combined. Add cream cheese, buttermilk, and vanilla extract; beat until well combined. Add the reserved flour mixture, and beat until smooth. Form the dough into a ball, and cover with plastic wrap; flatten into a disk, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Remove dough from refrigerator. Sprinkle a clean work surface with flour; roll dough 1/8 inch thick. Using a 4 1/2-inch-round cookie cutter, cut out 20 rounds, and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Combine sun-dried strawberries and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Scrape in the vanilla seeds, and reserve pod for another use. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until most of the water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and preserves. Set aside to cool.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees; have ready a small bowl of ice water. Remove chilled dough from the refrigerator, and let stand until pliable, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling onto the center of a round, and brush ice water around the edges. Fold round in half; using a fork, press down on edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining rounds. Chill 30 minutes.
• Remove pies from refrigerator, and brush tops with egg white. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup sugar over tops. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven; transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve.
