Ingredients

250 g all-purpose flour
60 g chilled unsalted butter, cubed
50 g granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
100 ml cold water
200 g mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla extract
200 g plain Greek yogurt optional
2 tbsp honey optional
Fresh mint for garnish optional

Equipment

Heatproof mixing bowl
Food processor or plastic bag & rolling pin (for biscuits)
Sharp knife
Baking sheet
Baking tray lined with parchment paper

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter, then use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water until the dough comes together. Shape it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
In another bowl, mix the mixed berries, cornstarch, and vanilla extract gently. Set aside to macerate while the dough chills.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 2-3 mm thick. Cut into 10 cm circles using a sharp knife.
Place a tablespoon of berry filling on one side of each circle. Fold over the dough to create a semi-circle shape, sealing the edges with a fork.
Arrange the hand pies on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
While the pies bake, whisk together Greek yogurt and honey for the cream. Once the hand pies have cooled slightly, serve with a dollop of yogurt cream and a mint sprig garnish.

Notes

For a fun twist, feel free to swap out the berries with apples or peaches for a seasonal variation! Enjoy getting creative with the fillings.
If you want to prep ahead, the hand pies can be made, frozen, and baked directly from the freezer—just add a few minutes to the baking time.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or reheat gently in the oven for optimal crispness. Enjoy your baking!
