- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out each pie crust and cut a large even square then cut that into 4 smaller squares.
- Turn each square so that it’s more of a diamond shape and place a dollop of Nutella or jam in the center.
- Fold the two sides in then lift the bottom flap up to form an open letter shape. Be sure to press down on all edges.
- Using the scraps and a small heart cutter, create enough hearts for all the letter pastries.
- Wet the back of the hearts for all letters with a small amount of water and place in the middle of each letter pressing down gently.
