Step 1

For the pastry

Step 2

1. Whisk together flour, salt and baking powder.

Step 3

2. Add the butter and use pastry blender to work it until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Butter should be in pea-sized pieces.

Step 4

3. Add the sour cream and water and mix until it starts to come together.

Step 5

4. Pat the dough into a rectangle and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 6

5. On a floured surface, roll dough into a long rectangle and fold each end in, then in half (see video for visual aid).

Step 7

6. Repeat step 5.

Step 8

7. Wrap the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 9

For the filling

Step 10

1. Add berries to sauce pan over medium/high heat. I used frozen berries so I microwaved them for a 130 before adding to the saucepan. Sprinkle corn starch and granulated sugar over the top.

Step 11

2. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.

Step 12

3. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and allow mixture to simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. I used a potato masher to break down the fruit.

Step 13

4. Once mixture is thickened, pour into a glass bowl and allow to cool on the counter or in the refrigerator to at least room temperature.

Step 14

Assembly

Step 15

1. Preheat oven to 425° F.

Step 16

2. Flour your work station. Roll out chilled dough into a 14 inch square.

Step 17

3. Cut out 16 even squares. 8 will be bottom crusts and 8 will be top crusts.

Step 18

4. Place 1 tablespoon of fruit filling on 8 of the squares and using a finger, spread egg wash around the edges.

Step 19

5. Poke holes or use a knife to cut a pattern in remaining 8 squares (the top crusts).

Step 20

6. Place top crusts on top of the squares with fruit filling.

Step 21

7. Press along the edges with tines of a fork to seal.

Step 22

8. Brush the top of each with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.

Step 23

9. If they still feel cool to the touch, bake now. Otherwise set in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before baking.

Step 24

10. Bake at 425° for 20-22 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 25

11. Remove from the oven and allow hand pies to sit for 20 minutes before eating.

Step 26

12. Enjoy!
