Basic Recipe for Soft Dinner Turnovers


     This week, I am going to share with you three versions of one of my favorite dishes, plus the basic recipe, so you can make your own version. This dish is like turnovers, only the filling is wrapped in a soft, fluffy dough instead of a crispy crust. These hand pies are perfect for picnics, as they are easy to transport and can be eaten at room temperature. However, I prefer them while they are still hot out of the oven! Yum!


     The basic recipe follows. You will make a bread dough and roll it out to a rectangle. Cut the rectangle into squares, put a large spoonful of filling in the center, and fold over one half to make a triangle. Close the pocket by pressing the edge with the tines of a fork. Transfer to a floured baking sheet or parchment paper, bake, and enjoy!


     The following days, I am going to share three different fillings with you, namely Mom's Creamy Carrot Filling, Comforting Potato Filling, and, the best for last, Gooey Pb-and-Banana Filling.
     Stay tuned, and let me know any fillings of your own that you make!
