Mini Nutella pies

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 80 g butter, cold
• 130 g flour
• 2 small egg yolks
• 3 tsp water, cold
• e.g. Nutella
• 1 egg yolk
• some milk

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes

Knead the flour, butter, egg yolks, and water into a smooth dough. You may need to adjust the amount of flour and/or water (each flour is slightly different). Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2 mm. Cut out circles (my cutters had a diameter of 5 cm). You’ll need one circle for the base and one for the lid. This amount of dough is enough for 15-18 pies (so 30-36 circles). Place 1/2 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of half of the dough circles. Place the lid on top. Press the edges together firmly with a fork. There should be no gaps, otherwise the filling will leak out. Whisk the egg yolk with a little milk and brush the mini pies with it. Now, using the tip of a sharp knife, score three small star-shaped indentations into the circles. Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 12 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet.
