A spicy beef and potato hand pie.
So in here I just have some ground beef.
To that I'm going to add some onion and some cubed potato.
I'm adding a little bit of-- What are you sprinkling?
Wait, you're going way ahead of the class.
Sorry, so a little bit of smoky paprika.
Smoky sweet paprika. Nice and smoky, right.
A.K.A. pimenton.
I said it was a spicy beef hand pie
so a little bit of cayenne pepper.
So cayenne pepper and smoked sweet paprika.
Yeah, generous amount of salt.
Generous amount of salt.
'Cause we have both potatoes and some beef--
Potatoes absorb salt like a sponge, seriously.
Yeah. Black pepper too or no?
Little bit of black pepper, yeah, of course.
Little bit of black pepper as well.
And like you said, these are sort of, like,
give you like an empanada vibe, like they're kind of--
Gotcha. You know.
Little bit of tomato paste, now this does two things,
obviously adds the tomato-y flavor and some acidity
but it also makes everything kind of stick together.
It's the glue, right?
Yeah, it's the glue for the potatoes and the beef.
Mix that up and then you can throw those peas in.
Those are some frozen peas, about a half a cup
goes in there. There ya go!
And then we can turn that off and it's already ready
to go 'cause those potatoes are gonna steam inside
of the pie so you don't have to cook them all the way.
So, over here I have our round of pie dough.
Store bought dough, yeah?
I rolled it out even?
Yeah, you did a great job by the way.
Well thank you!
You're really good at that.
So we need to turn our round into a rectangle
so what I'm gonna do is fold over the two sides.
Just like this.
Turn it seam side down and then we're just gonna roll it out
into a nice, big rectangle.
Alright, so now we cut it into four quadrants.
(laughing)
So I have two squares. (chuckling)
Thank you! I know that one.
Let's stick to Sesame Street shapes, okay?
(audience applause) Two squares.
We got our squares!
And then we're going to take a little bit of our filling.
Nice and cool, so put it right in the middle.
Right in the middle, yes sir.
Is that a good amount or no?
That's a perfect amount, yeah.
Can I be perfect twice for you?
Yes, you can.
Look at that, you did a great job.
There's a little too much.
Oh jeez, one too many. Uh oh!
So now we're gonna cut off our corners to sort of create
that little triangle shape on the envelope.
(laughing)
So, we're just gonna cut off our two corners like this.
So now we have this sort of shape that looks like a house
which probably has a name.
But we're gonna call it a house shape.
(laughing)
And then we take our filling
or a bottom thingy.
A bottom thingy?
Yup, right, you're doing it.
You fold up the bottom floor into the top floor.
Exactly.
Of your little house.
You're one step ahead of me!
And then you pull your other flap down.
You wanna close up the sides.
A solid gold fork, just in time for the Oscars!
Just in time for the big show, the big show!
The big game, I kinda call it the big game
'cause for me it is the big game.
I don't watch the Super Bowl.
(laughing)
And Lady Gaga will be on the Oscars this year
so it's a big deal for me.
Well, yeah, she's nominated, isn't she?
Yeah and she better win. Okay, there ya go.
Or I'll be really mad.
And she better win or Grant's comin' for ya.
Yeah. (applause)
Alright so then we brush our tops of our envelopes
with some egg wash.
The filling is really tasty, it's nice and spicy.
Isn't that yummy?
Nice and spicy, a little smoky too.
And then I also like to sprinkle them with
a little bit of paprika.
Just so people know these are the spicy ones,
not the dessert ones 'cause you don't want to break
into the wrong one, ya know?
Oh yeah, no, seriously, you don't want to break
into the wrong envelope. Yeah.
The whole system will go crazy.
Alright, let's tell them about this one.
So they go online and download this one too?
Yeah, so this one is a chocolate, pecan hand pie.
So it's kind of like Thanksgiving pecan pie
but there's also a ton of chocolate chips.
Let's break into one of them so you can see those guys too.
Look at that.
Oh my God, chocolate-pecan yum.
And I just like to garnish those with a little bit
of powdered sugar.
Grant, how long do we bake the hand pies?
375 for about 15 to 20 minutes.
That's all it takes?
Yeah. Wow, well congratulation.
And the envelope please, the winner is tasty.
(cheers and applause)
What is this?
Oh, so I have a little bit of ketchup.
Oh just ketchup!
'Cause whenever I have beef, I want ketchup.
Okay, so this one, there's also a smoky, cumin sour cream
for on top. Oh alright.
I'm like ketchup?
I don't want just ketchup on my hand pie, right?
Oh I do. Alright!
Yes I do. And the winner is, Grant!
With cutest snack!
(cheers and applause)
