I’m delighted you have tried so many recipes! I appreciate your review, Somi.

I just made these hand pies for our winter holiday baking contest at work. Everyone loved them & I even got 3rd place. I love your recipes, they are always so great! ❤️

Happy Holidays!!

Kate – I never write stuff – but am motivated to do because there’s a trick that’s worth the extra gadget, and I love and now rely on your recipes even though I know how to cook all kinds of things… your recipes are delicious, inventive, healthy, and carefully tested. I resist adding kitchen gadgets that take up space when I can do the same a more usual way… but got these after using with a friend. Those little folding molds (or big, they come in sizes) really make dumplings or hand pies WAAY faster and easier. Wish I could send you some! Look for two halves and a hinge, most have those, BUT get ones that have circular rim on the backside that you can use as a circular cutout when the mold is open. Roll, use the mold open backside is cookie cutter, put pastry round in mold, putt filling in depression, fold shut which crimps. Cook on sheet, can poke or glaze or use parchment or silicone liner all the usual things. Or you can deep fry but I don’t. They come in sizes from dumplings to calzones and I even managed to find at the thrift store before. We cranked Savory pies out with these out by the hundred- and even making a few at home for family, it seems only a few are devoured fast so I try to make more and freeze.

Hi Vincent! I want to say yes, but pastry recipes can be finicky and frozen raspberries might add excess moisture. So, I’d stick with fresh raspberries if you can.

You’re welcome, Angie!

I’m so glad you love this recipe, Jinny!
