Morning Lovelies, 

How are we already nearing the end of October? It seems like the last few months of the year are flying by on a broom stick! As we prepare for the big Halloween parties this week, I wanted to share with you all a fun and super simple recipe that you are perfect for any spooky scenario. 

Get those hands ready because things are about to become bloody messy. Well, not really, but all will be revealed mwahahahaha…

Ingredients

One Cup of Plain Flour

1/2 Cup of Water

A Jar of Jam (Any Flavour)

Tools

Baking Tray

Baking Paper

Mixing Bowl

Mixing Spoon

Fork

Rolling Pin

Hand Shaped Cookie Cutter or Knife

Teaspoon

Method

Start by preheating your oven to 375(F) or 190(C), before lining a baking tray with baking paper. Place to one side. 

Next grab a mixing bowl and add in the flour and water. Mix together until you have a smooth dough. If it is a little sticky, add a bit more flour, but only until it becomes sticky. 

Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough using a rolling pin until it is around 1/8” thick. 

Once the dough is ready, use a hand shaped cookie cutter or trace careful around your own hand with a knife/use a knife to make a hand shape to cut out hand shapes from the dough. 

When the shapes have all been made, take a teaspoon and place a small amount of jam into the centre of half of the hand shapes. Ensure to make a border around the edges and leave half of the hand shapes plain for now. 

After placing the jam in the right spot, carefully place one of the plain hand shapes onto the jam filled ones. Then take a fork and carefully crimp around the edges to seal the pair together. 

Once all hand shapes have been made, place onto the baking tray and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. 

When the hand pies are ready, remove from the oven and enjoy or decorate them with spooky items if you want to. You can also use them at any party, film night or Halloween soirée lovelies. 

I hope you all enjoy these spooky creations and let me know if you make them!
