Ingredients
  

Pastry and filling
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts (one 14-ounce package)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for dusting
  • 1 large egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
  • 6 tablespoons jam or Nutella (1 tablespoon per pastry)
Glaze
  • 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk plus optional teaspoons to thin

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • rolling pin
  • mixing bowl

Directions
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
  2. On a lightly floured counter, roll one chilled pie crust into a 9×12-inch rectangle and trim the edges. Cut it into six equal rectangles and set them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  3. Brush the dough with the egg wash. Spoon 1 tablespoon jam or Nutella into the middle of each, keeping the edges clear.
  4. Roll the second crust into a 9×12-inch rectangle and cut six more pieces. Place them over the filled pieces, pinch the edges together and press all around with a fork. Brush with the rest of the egg wash and poke a few holes in each top.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden. Move to a rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  6. Stir the powdered sugar with the cream or milk until it is thin enough to drizzle, adding 1 teaspoon at a time if needed. Spread or drizzle it over the cooled pastries.
