This Week’s Recipe: Blueberry Hand Pies
I love a handpie. Even better? Recently, I learned how to make pie dough via a food processor, which utterly changed and simultaneously upped my pie game! Turns out, I wasn’t adding enough water and my hands were entirely too warm to work with such a temperature-sensitive mixture, hence, why the food processor was such a game changer.
So when I found this recipe for blueberry hand pies, I was excited to try it! Even better? They turned out beautifully the very first time.
The reason my pies are circular rather than square is on account of my kitchen’s lack of a pastry wheel and a reluctance to cut my silicone baking mat to ribbons made me avoid using a knife or a pizza cutter. Then I recalled purchasing, forever and a day ago, a pastry cutter (think cookie cutter but bigger) the approximate size called for in the recipe.
(And because I’m me, I also added a pinch of cinnamon to the filling.)
Agatha Christie: I can see Captain Hasting sinking his teeth happily into one of these pies on a summer’s day during a picnic he arranged with one lady or another!
