Spiced Rum Sweet Potato Hand Pies
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked sweet potato, pureed
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free spiced rum
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 recipe Galette & Hand Pie Dough
- 1 large egg white
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack and allow it to heat up in the oven.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato puree, brown sugar, rum, spices, and salt. Set aside.
- Roll out the dough on a sheet of parchment and cut out 6-inch circles (a small bowl works well as a cutter). Refrigerate the cut-out dough for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the refrigerator and spoon 2 tablespoons of filling onto a circle of dough. Gently fold the circle in half. Use a fork to seal or pinch with your fingers. Repeat with the remaining dough. Gently score the top of each hand pie.
- Brush with the egg white and place hand pies onto the hot baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
