Summer Fruit Hand Pies with Soured Cream Pastry
These pies by Martha Money are inspired by her summers spent in South Carolina. They’re ideal for picnics because, as the name suggests, no cutlery is needed to eat them! As an alternative to cherries, you could also use strawberries (adding ½tsp vanilla extract) or peaches (with ½tsp ground cinnamon). Just pick your favourite summer fruit, or whatever you have a glut of in the garden, perhaps.
