• Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, a teaspoon of lemon zest, and remaining milk to create a glaze, and set aside.
• Cut 4-inch circles out of the pie pastry. Save the pastry scraps and roll them out with a rolling pin to create additional circles.
• Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of lemon curd filling into the center of each circle and fold over to create a half circle.
• Seal the pastry by crimping the edges with a fork or with your hands.
• Lightly brush the top of each hand pie with the beaten egg wash.

Baking Method
