Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 0.5 cup Ice water

Filling Ingredients

  • 4 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) fresh or frozen
  • 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Egg Wash and Topping

  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

  • In a bowl, combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently toss to combine.

Assemble and Bake

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out circles or desired shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.
  • Place a spoonful of the berry filling in the center of half of the dough circles. Top with another circle of dough and crimp the edges to seal.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the hand pies with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
