Here’s a quick review of some of the key steps:
PASTRY – Those of you familiar with pie dough may be a bit surprised when we call for sour cream to bind the mixture of butter and dry ingredients, but it gives the pastry a heavenly richness that still results in that all-important flakey finish.

We also worked a bit of lemon zest into the pastry, adding both fragrance and a memorable citrus note to each and every bite.

FILLING – In a perfect world, you’ll make this recipe using freshly picked wild strawberries, but if conventionally grown berries are all you can find, use them. In prepping your strawberries, remember that these STRAWBERRY HAND PIES are dainty, miniature little gems, so it’s essential to cut them up into smaller bits than we normally would for a standard pie.

Although it’s expected that these pies will “weep” a bit as they bake, we suggest draining away any excess liquid from the berries right before you transfer the filling onto your circles of dough.

EGG WASH – We tested this recipe using two different egg washes, one made using water, the other using milk. In the end, we’re convinced that beating an egg with a tablespoon of whole milk is the best method. The hand pies come out of the oven beautifully glossy and nicely browned.

SUGAR, SUGAR! – There are two moments during the preparation of these pies where the addition of sugar amps up the wow factor. The first is when we brush them with the egg wash and add a sprinkle of granulated or cane sugar right before they go into the oven to give the pies a bit of sparkle.

The second is adding a dusting of icing sugar once the pies come out of the oven and have had a chance to cool. Don’t go crazy - a whisper of icing sugar is perfect just before serving and yes, I'm calling it a whisper. Shhh!
