Use a paring knife to cut a 2″ line down the center of this second batch of cut-outs and place them on a plate. These are the tops of our pies. Transfer all the rectangles to the fridge to keep chilled. Pull the plate of cut-outs out of the fridge. Lay one in your palm, and use your finger to spread the egg wash along the edges of the rectangle. Place the cut-out, egg wash side down, over the top of one of the rectangles with piping, lining up the edges as best you can. Press the edges together to seal. Repeat until you’ve formed all the hand pies. Cut out rectangles that are 2.5″ wide and 4.5″ long. I use the measurements on the edge of my bench scraper for this. If you rolled your pie crust thin enough, you should end up with 5–7 rectangles.
Use a basting brush to apply more egg wash to the top of each pie, then sprinkle a generous amount of the coarse sugar over the tops. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned and the filling is beginning to bubble out of the center slit. As a rule of thumb, both mixtures need to be about the same temperature when combined. This temperature is typically around 130-160 degrees.**Citric Acid is not thought to induce significant benzene production in combination with Benzoic Acid, but some evidence suggests that in the presence of ascorbic acid and benzoic acid, citric acid may accelerate the production of benzene. Therefore, the use of NeoDefend and L-Ascorbic Acid and Citric Acid in the same cosmetic formulations should be avoided.” Using all natural ingredients, my DIY hand cream recipe is actually pretty easy to make and you’ll love the creamy consistency of the final product. It contains olive oil because it is so nourishing for the skin not to mention you probably have some in your cabinet as we speak! I added Vitamin E oil for added nourishment and even a bit of anti aging! Emulsifying wax is a must so that the water and oils will mix into a cream. Is Making Lotion Right For You?
Once your mixture is no longer hot, add your essential oils and vitamin E, mix one more time, then pour into containers. Do not store in the fridge during those 24 hours that it is setting up.I made this mistake thinking I could speed up the process and it’s consistency was inconsistent!I ended up having to mix it with my hand mixer the next day and managed to salvage it but avoiding mixing was the whole point of this recipe! Depending on how dry your hands are, you may want to add a butter like shea butter, cocoa butter or mango butter to up the moisturizing potential. You can do this by keeping the proportions the same. For example, this recipe calls for 1/4 cup of olive oil. There are 4 tablespoons in 1/4 cup so you could do 2 tbsp. of olive oil and 2 tbsp. of shea butter. This would be a highly emollient hand cream and would be perfect for VERY dry skin. Is Vitamin E & Essential Oils Necessary?
