Baked Sweets and Treats

Strawberries ‘n Cream Hand Pies

These Strawberries ‘n Cream Hand Pies might be the BEST thing you will ever eat. That’s if you love strawberries and the most delicious flakey, buttery pastry dough evahhhh. Don’t be shy about making homemade pastry dough. It’s one of the best baking skills for you to acquire. If I can do it easily you sure can! Just be sure to never, ever skimp on the butter.

Store bought pastries are typically way too sweet for me, but these are just right. With only 1 tablespoon of brown sugar in the strawberry, cream cheese filling they are just right to satisfy sweet cravings. I use my favorite Pastry Pie Crust Recipe for these hand pies. A tried and true recipe that always has the best results!

Making videos for MarlaMeridithTV. Stay tuned for some amazing recipe tutorials! MarlaMeridith.com ( @marlameridith )

Make these for your Valentine… but perfect for any time of the year! I fed them to my video crew the other day. They swooned!
