Banana Nutella Cardamom Hand Pies Recipe

10 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (about 7 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (about 1 3/4 ounces) sugar
  • 10 tablespoons butter, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 5-6 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 (12-ounce) jar Nutella
  • 2 medium bananas
  • 1 quart vegetable oil
  • powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

  1. 1
    Using a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, salt, butter, and cardamom until the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixer. Gradually add ice water one tablespoon at a time until dough comes together and can easily form a ball. Form into a 1/4-inch disc, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. 2
    Unwrap and roll out pie dough to 1/8-inch on a lightly floured surface. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 10 to 12 pie circles, gathering and re-rollings scraps as necessary. Place 1 tablespoon of Nutella and 2-3 slices of banana in center of dough circles. Fold shut and seal by crimping the edges with a fork.
  3. 3
    Heat oil in heavy bottomed pot until temperature reaches 350°F. Lower pies into oil using a slotted spoon in batches of 3 and cook until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve.
