- For the Dough: In a large bowl combine flour and salt and whisk together. Knead in cubed butter with a pastry cutter, forks, or by hand until butter is pea-sized. Drizzle in honey and a tablespoon of water and knead together. Add one tablespoon of water at a time kneading in between additions until dough comes together (you may not use all of the water depending on your conditions). Turn dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap and shape into a disc. Wrap and chill for at least and hour and up to 2 days. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with a piece of parchment.

- For the Egg Wash: Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 4-inch squares. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling into the center of each piece of dough. Brush the edges with the egg wash and then fold the dough over to create a rectangle and seal edges with a fork. Using a sharp paring knife, cut vents in the top of each hand pie. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash, as well, and then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
