Ingredients
-4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-2 tsp Clabber Girl Baking Powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 cup granulated sugar
-1 cup Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening
-2 large eggs
-1/4 cup milk
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1/2 cup strawberry jam
-1 egg + 2 tbsp milk, beaten (egg wash)
Glaze
-1 cup confectioners' sugar
-2 tbsp whole milk
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-Pink food coloring
-Rainbow ball sprinkles
Instructions
1. Whisk flour, Clabber Girl Baking Powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. Beat sugar and Crisco Shortening until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Gradually add dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with milk. Add vanilla with the final milk addition. Mix just until a soft dough forms.
3. Shape dough into a log, wrap, and roll into an even cylinder. Slice into 16 equal pieces. Arrange on a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate 1 hour.
4. Heat oven to 350°F. Roll each dough piece between parchment into a 5–6-inch round. Fold sides inward to form a rectangle, then roll to 1/4-inch thick.
5. Pair rectangles by size. Brush one with egg wash, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Add 1 tbsp strawberry jam to the center. Top with another rectangle, press edges together, crimp with a fork, and prick the top. Repeat.
6. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake ~25 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool 15 minutes.
7. Glaze: Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla, and pink food coloring until smooth.
8. Spoon glaze over cooled hand pies and immediately add sprinkles. Serve warm or cool completely and store airtight for up to 1 week.
