Crust:
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup butter, chilled and cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup shortening, chilled and cut into pieces
- 2-4 Tbsp. ice-cold water
- 1 small jar Nutella
- one beaten egg with a teaspoon of water, for brushing
- popsicle or lollipop sticks
- coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Steps:
- Make the pastry: in a large bowl or the bowl of a food processor, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and shortening and use a fork, pastry blender, wire whisk or use the “pulse” motion of the food processor to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal, with lumps of fat no bigger than a pea.
- Drizzle the minimum amount of water over the mixture and stir until the dough comes together, adding a little more a bit at a time if you need it. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disc, wrap it in plastic and chill for at least half an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry out 1/4″ thick. Cut into 2″-3″ rounds with a cookie cutter or glass rim, and brush the edge with beaten egg. Place a lollipop stick on the edge, overlapping the pastry by about 1/2″, and place a spoonful of Nutella in the middle of the pastry circle. Brush the edge lightly with one beaten egg with a teaspoon of water.
- Top with a second circle and press the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with a little more milk or cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Repeat with the remaining pastry and Nutella.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Makes about a dozen pie pops.
