Ingredients
Scale
For the Pie Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup sour cream
For the Filling:
2 cups blueberries
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice
For Assembling:
1 large egg
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Use a pastry cutter or forks to work the cold butter into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs. Then, add the sour cream and mix just until the dough comes together.
- Laminate the Dough: Roll dough into a 14×14 inch square on a floured surface. Fold like a letter into thirds, rotate, and roll again. Repeat once more, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat until thickened (3-5 minutes). Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll and Cut: Roll the chilled dough to 14×14 inches again. Cut into 3-4 inch rounds.
- Assemble: Spoon 1.5 tablespoons of blueberry filling into half of the dough circles. Cover with another circle or fold into half-moons. Seal edges with a fork.
- Finish and Bake: Brush each hand pie with egg wash (egg + water) and sprinkle with sugar. Cut small vents on top. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool before serving.
Notes
Keep ingredients cold for a flakier crust. Seal well to prevent leaks. Pies can be frozen after baking for up to 2 months.
