Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: Use a light touch when rolling the dough to avoid over-working.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cold butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Tip: Don't overmix the dough.
- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Tip: The dough should be smooth and pliable.
- 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten slightly into a disk shape.
Tip: Use a light touch when rolling the dough to avoid over-working.
- 5
Spoon a small amount of caramel sauce onto the center of each disk. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges to seal.
Tip: Make sure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from escaping.
- 6
Brush the tops of the pastries with the melted butter and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
Tip: This will give the pastries a nice sheen and sweetness.
- 7
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.
Tip: Keep an eye on the pastries after 10 minutes as they can go from golden to burnt quickly.
- 8
Allow the pastries to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: This will help the pastries set and make them easier to handle.
- 9
Serve the caramel hand pies warm, dust with confectioners' sugar and enjoy.
Tip: You can also refrigerate or freeze the pastries for up to 2 days for a quick snack.
- 10
Dust the pastries with confectioners' sugar before serving.
Tip: This will add an extra touch of sweetness and elegance to the dish.

Serve the caramel hand pies at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Tip: Avoid serving the pastries when they are cold, as the filling may not be as smooth and creamy.
