1 Stick butter
1 1/4 c Sugar
1 Egg
3 oz Cream cheese
2 ts Buttermilk
3 c All-purpose flour
1/4 ts Baking soda
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1 c Strawberry preserves
2 c Diced fresh strawberries
1 ts Lemon juice
2 ts Lemon zest
Directions: To make the dough, cream together the butter and sugar with an
electric mixer. Add the egg and cream cheese, blending well. Add the
buttermilk and mix to combine. Slowly mix in the flour to form a dough. Add
the baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Blend well and then knead the
dough with hands, forming a ball. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour. To make
the pies, roll out the dough and cut six 6″ circles. Prepare the filling by
combining the strawberry preserves, fresh strawberries, lemon juice, and
lemon zest. Spoon 3 tablespoons of filling onto one side of each dough
circle. Fold the clean side over and press the edges together with a fork.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, until golden.
