Wine Jelly Hand Pies
-
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¾ cup butter
-
1 egg, lightly beaten
-
2 – 4 tablespoons milk
-
6 tablespoons wine jelly of choice
-
Cookie Glaze (optional)
-
Sprinkles (optional)
In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in egg. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. milk at a time over part of the flour mixture; gently toss with a fork. Repeat, adding only enough milk until mixture begins to come together. Gather into a ball, kneading gently just until it holds together. (Or combine all ingredients except milk in a food processor. Pulse; add milk 1 Tbsp. at a time until dough comes together.) Divide pastry in half; form two balls. If desired, cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to use.
​
Preheat the oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface slightly flatten one pastry ball. Roll into a 9×8-inch rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise to form two 9×4-inch rectangles; cut each in thirds crosswise to form six total 3x4-inch rectangles. Repeat with the remaining pastry ball.
Spread 1 Tbsp. jam each onto six rectangles. Moisten edges with additional milk; top with remaining pastry rectangles; press edges with a fork to seal. Using a floured spatula, transfer filled pastries to a baking sheet. Brush tops with additional milk.
​
Bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until golden. Remove; let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Drizzle with Cookie Glaze. Serve warm.
​
Cookie Glaze:
In a small bowl mix together a ½ cup of powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of milk. Just enough until it forms a paste. Not too thick to drizzle, but not too thin that it will just run off the pie. Add a ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon of almond extract. Mix well.
