All that’s required is the simmering up a savory and delicious beef filling until thick and rich, and then spooning that filling onto large squares of puff pastry, topping with another large square of puff pastry as if you were making a small pie, then sealing things up and baking until golden and flaky!
Here’s a glance at my savory hand pie recipe: (or just jump to the full recipe…)
To get started, I prepare my beef filling and allow that to simmer until the potatoes and veggies are tender, and the sauce thick and rich. Then, I allow the filling to completely cool. (Preparing the filling the day before baking these is ideal for this.)
While the filling cools, I allow my puff pastry sheets to thaw, and then roll them out and cut into a total of 16 large squares.
To assemble the savory hand pies, I spoon some filling into the center of a puff pastry square, top with another square of puff pastry to create a rectangular “pie”, then press the edges to seal it closed, creating a little hand pie “package” (you can use a fork for this).
I cut a couple of small slits into the top of each hand pie, and chill them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Then, I egg wash each hand pie and bake them for roughly 24 to 26 minutes, until puffed and golden.
