Salted Chocolate Hand Pies

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, cold butter, and ice-cold water. Mix until a dough forms.

   Tip: Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a thin circle.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over each dough circle.

   Tip: This will add a touch of sweetness and a pinch of flaky salt.

5. 5

   Place a tablespoon of chocolate chips in the center of each dough circle. Brush the edges with heavy cream.

   Tip: This will help the dough stick together when sealed.

6. 6

   Fold the dough over the chocolate, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.

   Tip: This will create a decorative border on your hand pies.

7. 7

   Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and flaky sea salt.

8. 8

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

   Tip: Keep an eye on them, as the baking time may vary depending on your oven.
