S'mores Hand Held Pies

Ingredients
  

  • Best Pie Crust
  • 12 tablespoons 1 1/2 sticks very cold butter
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • cup very cold leaf lard or crisco
  • 6 to 8 tablespoons about 1/2 cup ice water
  • Filling
  • Marshmallow Fluff
  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Squares of Chocolate Ghirardelli
  • graham cracker crumbs

Instructions
 

  • Crust
  • Dice the butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture.
  • Place the flour, salt, And sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix.
  • Add the butter and leaf lard. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas.
  • With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball.
  • Dump out on a floured board and roll into a ball.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board.
  • Use round cookie cutters (3 inches is a good size) to make your pies. Each pie needs 2 circles-a top and bottom.
  • On the bottom, place some fluff, mini marshmallows, one square of chocolate and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
  • Brush edges with egg wash.
  • Top with a second circle and use a fork to crimp the edges.
  • Brush with egg wash, make a few slits and bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet at 400 degrees for approx 14 mins until browned.
  • Serve with a drizzle of melted chocolate, if desired.
