  • 1/2 cup frozen butter

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup ice water

Instructions
 

  • Combine Ingredients:

    Using a fork or pastry blender, mix the frozen butter, flour, and salt together. Alternatively, you can use a KitchenAid mixer for convenience.
    Be careful not to over-mix. Stir until just combined.
  • Chill the Dough:

    Shape the dough into a ball and refrigerate for 4 hours.
  • Roll and Cut:

    Roll the dough gently onto a floured surface.
    Using a 6" plate as a guide, cut out circles for the hand pies. This recipe should yield 6 circles.
  • Fill and Seal:

    Add your desired filling to each circle.
    Seal the edges with a floured fork.
  • Bake:

    Brush the tops with egg white and add crumble topping.
    Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
