With flaky puff pastry, these hand pies have the richness of smoked salmon, the creaminess of cream cheese, the freshness of cucumber, and the herbaceous smell of dill.

Ingredients: 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed. 4 ounces smoked salmon. 4 ounces cream cheese. 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped.

Instructions: Get the oven ready by heating it up to 400F 200C. Cut the puff pastry into 4 squares after rolling it out. Place a small amount of cream cheese on each square and round it off. Put smoked salmon, cucumber slices, and fresh dill on top. For a triangle shape, fold the dough over and crimp the edges with a fork. Put the hand pies on a baking sheet that has parchment paper on it. Put it in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and puffs up. You can serve it hot or cold.

These vegan berry hand pies with a flaky crust are a delicious treat. They are filled with juicy mixed berries. They are great for dessert or a sweet snack because they have a sweet vanilla glaze on top of them.

Ingredients: 2 cups mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon cornstarch. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1 package vegan pie crust dough store-bought or homemade. 1/4 cup powdered sugar. 1 tablespoon almond milk. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375F 190C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir gently until the berries are coated evenly. Set aside. Roll out the pie crust dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter or glass, cut out circles of dough, about 4-5 inches in diameter. Place a spoonful of the berry mixture onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Transfer the hand pies to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. While the hand pies are baking, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once the hand pies are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Drizzle the frosting over the warm hand pies. Serve the hand pies warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
