INSTRUCTIONS

 
Dough:
  • Cut the butter into cubes and chill.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter to blend. Mix until the butter is smaller than pea sized pieces. *This can also be done in a food processor, pulsing until the butter is in small pieces but taking care not to over mix.
  • Whisk the eggs and add to the mix. Blend until combined.
  • Add the milk gradually, adding less or more, just until the dough starts to come together. Finish mixing by hand and form into a ball.
  • Flatten into a disc, wrap with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour before rolling out.
  • Roll to a thickness of 4mm and chill again. Cut the dough into 4 inch by 4 inch squares and chill until ready to use.
 
Cranberry Filling:
  • Combine all the ingredients in a medium pot and bring to a boil over low/ medium heat.
  • Stir and allow the cranberries to burst.
  • Once the mixture is fully boiling and begins to slightly thicken (about 5 minutes) remove from heat and cool.
 
Raspberry Glaze:
  • Melt the Raspberry Inspiration in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals until just melted.
  • Bring the milk to a boil and slowly pour over the melted Inspiration, mixing well after each addition.
  • Sift the confectioners sugar and add to the mix, blending well and straining if necessary to ensure a smooth texture.
  • Use the glaze while warm or chill and gently reheat.
 
Assembly and Finishing:
  • Place the dough squares on a piece of parchment and place 2 feves of Raspberry Inspiration on one size of the dough.
  • Place a spoonful of cranberry filling (about 1 Tbsp/20g) on top of the feves.
  • Dip a pastry brush in the egg wash and spread around the edges of the dough. Fold over the dough and pinch the edges to seal.
  • Repeat with all the dough squares.
  • Place the pies on a parchment lined baking tray. Chill the pies for 15-30 minutes.
  • Egg wash the top of the pies and cut 2 slits in the top to create air vents.
  • Bake the pies immediately at 400F for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Place the glaze in a piping bag and pipe lines of glaze across the hand pies. Allow the glaze to set and serve.
