Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar. Incorporate butter and shortening, using a fork or pastry cutter (avoid using bare hands, as this will melt the butter). Add enough ice water to make the dough form a ball.
- Flour a large surface and roll out the dough. Use large and small star-shaped cookie cutters to cut even numbers of small and large stars for the hand pies. (This set of six star cookie cutters gives you lots of options!)
- Meanwhile, place the 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries in a pot, along with the sugar, butter and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir continuously, for 8 minutes.
- In a separate pot, combine the blueberries, sugar, butter and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir continuously, for 8 minutes.
- Remove both pots from heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Spoon small amounts of the filling (the amount will depend on the size of your pies) into the center of half of the cut-outs and then sandwich a clean cut-out overtop. Leave enough space around the edges of the stars to seal.
- Pinch the sides together to seal completely.
- Place hand pies on a lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden.
- Let the pies cool before combining the drizzle ingredients and spooning overtop of the pies in a quick zig-zag motion.
