hand pies with strawberry-bourbon jam
A warming sweet treat that fits in your pocket.
Pie is great, but it’s not the most portable of desserts. That delectable combo of gooey filling and crumbly crust is a recipe for disaster if it strays from the path between the plate and your mouth.
That’s where the hand pie – an ingenious culinary invention – comes in. As the name suggests, this bite-sized treat fits right into the palm of your hand (and pocket, and handbag… you get the point). You can safely take it and eat it just about anywhere!
If there’s one kind of hand pie we’d love to test the portability of, it’s this strawberry-bourbon one by The G&M Kitchen. It’s got everything we like to see in pie: a flaky, buttery crust, and a sweet, jammy filling. Fancy giving it a whirl? Have a squiz at the recipe here.
