Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, very cold and cubed
  • 6-8 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 12 sheets graham crackers, broken into 1-inch pieces
  • 12 large marshmallows, halved or quartered
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tiny pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) of very cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender, fingertips, or a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible. Gradually add 6-8 tablespoons of ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix. Divide the dough into two equal discs, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of chilled dough into a large rectangle, about ⅛-inch thick. Using a 4-inch round cutter (or a knife to make squares/rectangles), cut out as many shapes as possible. Re-roll scraps gently and cut more. You should get about 12-14 rounds from each dough disc. Roughly chop 8 ounces of good quality semi-sweet chocolate into uniform pieces. Break 12 graham cracker sheets into rough 1-inch pieces. Chop 12 large marshmallows in half or quarters, or use mini marshmallows.
  • Lay out half of your pastry cut-outs on the prepared baking sheets. In a small bowl, whisk one large egg with 1 tablespoon of milk or cream to create an egg wash. Brush a light layer of egg wash around the edges of each pastry circle. On the center of each pastry circle, place a small amount of graham cracker pieces (about a tablespoon), then layer with a few pieces of chopped chocolate (about 1-2 tablespoons), and finally top with marshmallows. Do not overfill! Leave at least ½ inch border around the edge of the dough for sealing.
  • Take the remaining pastry circles and carefully place one over each filled circle. Gently press down with your fingers around the edges to seal the two dough layers together, then use a fork to crimp the edges firmly. Cut a few small slits on the top of each hand pie with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape. Brush the tops of all the hand pies with the remaining egg wash. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Transfer the hand pies to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  • To create the marshmallow drizzle, combine 1 cup of mini marshmallows, 2 tablespoons of milk, and a tiny pinch of salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir well. Continue heating in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth (1-2 minutes total). Once melted, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and has a beautiful, pourable, glaze-like consistency. Adjust consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
  • Once your S’mores Hand Pies have cooled for about 10-15 minutes, liberally drizzle the warm marshmallow glaze over each hand pie in decorative zig-zags or swirls. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a few extra graham cracker crumbs or mini chocolate chips on top of the wet drizzle. Serve these beauties slightly warm to enjoy the gooey filling at its best.
