Rhubarb & Ginger Hand Pies

September 3, 2014

rhubarb & ginger hand pies rhubarb & ginger pies reciperhubarb & ginger mini tarts I have to admit, I was a little nervous when I saw that this weeks GBBO theme was pastry, but after deciding just to go for shop bought pastry (Paul Hollywood would be horrified) I got rather excited about it. I settled on rhubarb and ginger hand pies within minutes. My gran is pretty much the queen of rhubarb crumble and it’s almost always the highlight of a Sunday dinner cooked by her. As much as I love it, I’ve never actually cooked rhubarb before so this was a nice little foray into something new, and surprisingly simple too!

Rhubarb & Ginger Hand Pies

Yield: 8 pies

Rhubarb & Ginger Hand Pies

Ingredients

  • 300g rhubarb, roughly chopped
  • 50g brown sugar
  • thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
  • 300g shortcrust pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°c. Add the rhubarb and brown sugar to a saucepan and cook over a medium heat for about 25 minutes, until the rhubarb has softened and you have a thick mixture. Set aside to cool a little.
  2. Flour your work surface and roll out your pastry. Cut into 16 equal sized rectangles (a pizza cutter works perfectly for this.)
  3. On half of your rectangles, brush lightly with beaten egg. Add about a tablespoon of the rhubarb mixture to each of these rectangles. On the remaining half, score a small cross in the centre – these will become the tops of your pies. Carefully place them on top of ‘bottoms’ and use a fork to seal the edges.
  4. Transfer your pies to a lined baking tray and brush with egg wash. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golde

    These sound amazing! The flavour combination is so perfect for winter too 🙂 I wish I’d had the sense to be like you and use ready made pastry!
