Nutella

peanut butter

In a large mixing bowl take flour along with granulated sugar and cold butter cubes. Combine everything using a pastry cutter or food processor until you get pea-sized crumbs. Combine everything and bring together to make a soft dough. Add 1 Tbsp Ice-Cold water through the feeder. Do not add more water than you require. Do not over knead the dough. Cover and chill the dough in the freezer for 30-minutes.

Dust your work surface with flour and roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circular discs. Use an offset spatula to pick them up and place them on the baking tray.

Add 1 Tablespoon of Peanut Butter and follow it up with 1 Tablespoon of Nutella. Spread it out with the back of a spoon.

Cover up the hand pies with another circular disc. Seal the sides with a fork. Crimp the top with a scissor.

Use some milk and brush it on the hand pies. You can also use an egg wash for this step, but I prefer milk. Sprinkle some coarse sugar onto each hand pie and keep the baking dish with hand pies in it in the freezer for about 20-minutes, uncovered.

Bake your hand pies at 360F for 30 minutes or until the sides are golden brown.

Let them cool on the wire rack. Use a piping bag to drizzle melted dark chocolate on the hand pies.
