These have got to be the cutest little bite-size pie pops......and delicious too. Courtesy of Leanne. Servings are approximate depending on the size of the cookie cutter you use. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1 pinch salt |
10 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces |
1 egg |
1/3 cup sugar (could be reduced to 1/4 cup) |
jam, jelly (or preserve of your choice) |
lollipop sticks |
1 egg white |
Directions:
1. 1. Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl.
2. 2. Cut in the butter, and pinch with the fingers to make fine crumbs.
3. 3. Make a well in the middle. Stir together egg and sugar, and pour into the well.
4. 4. Swiftly mix in with the fingertips until the mixture forms a dough. Do not overmix.
5. 5. Divide into 2 disks, wrap in plastic, and chill in fridge for at least an hour.
6. 6. Preheat oven to 425F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. 7. Roll out pie crust until 1/8th of an inch or so thick.
