Description

Indulge in these irresistible Love Letter Strawberry Hand Pies, featuring a buttery, flaky crust wrapped around a sweet and juicy strawberry filling. Perfect for any occasion, from Valentine’s Day to a casual weekend treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add the ice water a tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just begins to hold together.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gather it into a disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, toss the diced strawberries with the granulated sugar and cornstarch.
  5. Roll the chilled dough out to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 12 heart shapes using a 4-inch cookie cutter.
  6. Place 6 of the heart shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place a heaping tablespoon of the strawberry mixture in the center of each shape, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  7. Brush the border of the dough with the egg wash. Top each with another heart shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  8. Brush the tops of the hand pies with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  9. Bake at 400°F for 18-22 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  10. Allow the hand pies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
