Blueberry hand pies are made with buttery puff pastry that bakes to golden brown perfection. The filling is bursting with fresh blueberries that have a hint of lemon. These little hand pies are a delicious summer treat!<\/p>\n

Whether savoury or lightly sweet, I love hand pies. And making them with puff pastry rather than a homemade pastry is what makes them super easy and quick to prepare. This recipe really is ultra simple as it\u2019s made with basically just a handful of ingredients (puff pastry, blueberries, lemon, sugar and an egg wash \u2014 yes, SIMPLE!). And in this case, simple also translates to pure deliciousness.<\/p>\n

Summer abundant berries<\/h2>\n

In summer when berries are abundant is exactly when you want to take advantage of all they have to offer, whether adding them to salads, enjoying them on their own (or with some mascarpone cream – yum!), or adding them to pies, cakes and muffins. And you aren\u2019t just limited to blueberries. You could also use strawberries, raspberries, or other favourite seasonal fruit.<\/p>\n

\nPuff pastry versus homemade pastry<\/h2>\n

Of course, if you have the time and desire, you could go ahead and prepare a homemade pie dough for this recipe. I recommend using my strawberry and rhubarb all-butter pie crust<\/a> recipe. It\u2019s made with spelt flour: 2 1\/2 cups spelt flour Type 630 (325 g), 1\/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon organic beet sugar, 250 g frozen unsalted butter. Check out the recipe for tips on how to make the perfect pie crust. If you do decide on making your own, you\u2019ll likely need to increase the amount of blueberries (50-100 g more), since it yields more than store-bought fresh puff pastry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Planning ahead?<\/h3>\n

Homemade pie dough can be made up to 2 days in advance and keep tightly covered in the refrigerator. Or free free to freeze it for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n
