Cranberry Curd Heart Hand Pies

January 22, 2014 · 4 Comments

Cranberry Curd Hand Pies

With so much delicious curd and some pate brisee still begging to be used, I couldn’t help but spend a snowy afternoon making hand pies, shaped in lovely hearts of course. These little pies are extremely versatile, they’re portable, satisfy all guests at potlucks or easy-going cocktail parties, or cold days when you just want to indulge in a single serving, warm flaky pastry. Sweet decadence that dreams are simply made of, well at least mine.

IMG_0176Personal pies are still one of my favorite things to make because you can fill them with just about any flavor you seem to be craving, including one of these combinations. When winter days have us lazily cuddled underneath cozy blankets, these quick and simple hand pies warm our little hearts, in more ways than just sweetness. They taste even better when shared with your loved one over a hot cup of cocoa during a quiet snowfall. Cranberry Curd Hand Pies

Cranberry Hand Pies

Ingredients

Pate Brisee

Cranberry Curd

Fresh Cranberries

1 – Egg

Granulated Sugar 

Recipe

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough onto a lightly floured surface to 1/4″ thickness. Cut using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place in freezer until firm, but not frozen {about 10 to 15 minutes}. Slide parchment, with cut shapes onto a flat surface, using rolling pin flatten dough shapes slightly, then transfer bottoms, on parchment, back to baking sheet, making sure to evenly space pieces of dough. 

Spoon a heaping tablespoon of curd in the center of bottoms, leaving 1/4″ edge, then place a small mound of fresh cranberries atop {about 4 to 5 berries}. Whisk together egg, and brush edge of pie bottoms. Carefully place top dough piece atop filling, press ends and crimp edges with a fork to seal. With your leftover dough scraps, use a small heart-shaped cutter {about 1″} to cut out shapes. Brush back of small heart with egg wash, and place in center of hand pies. Brush entire hand pie with egg wash, and generously sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown {about 20 minutes}. Allow to cool completely.

Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩 Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩

If there was a “party theme” that best describes me, I think it would be this.  A delicate explosion of psychedelic pastel blooms & pretty vintage tea cups, colorful retro glasses happily scattered amongst the disco ball reflections — ready to be filled w. the spirit you fancy best to sip & dance on the grass from sunset to moonrise to sunrise, as if at a Grand Ball, Woodstock or Studio54 …

This tablescape best showcases my love of all things 70’s; an era whose soul inspires me & is much of what I love … where delicate & wild flowers are flower power!

Then there’s the romantic at heart; who loves all things intricate vintage details, lush gardens, gilded affairs & tea parties brimming w. classical melodies.

I quite love this Spring styling & you can read/see more of it on the Blog now✨ … follow link in bio
