Special Precautions and Tips:
- To make the hand pies ahead of time, bake them as directed and then allow them to cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
