Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cup(s) flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
3 tablespoon(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
5 tablespoon(s) butter, softened
3/4 cup(s) half and half
- assorted pie fillings or preserves
1 - egg yolk, blended

Steps:

  • Stir the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. I used my food processor for the whole process.
  • Add the half and half and melted butter, till forms a ball. Or if not using a processor, cut in the butter with a fork and add the half and half.
  • I cut the dough in half. Then roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  • I use a med sized glass to cut the dough into circles. Then spread out with fingers a bit more. Add about a teaspoon of filling, fold over and crimp edges with a fork.
  • Place on a baking sheet., I lined mine with parchment paper. Brush each pie with egg yolk. Sprinkle with some sugar if you like. I sometimes drizzle a glaze on them also, after cooling a few minutes Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Place on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes...then enjoy a nice tender, fruit filled pie..I think they are so cute..
