You’ve planned your springtime tea party, you’ve thrifted the *cutest* tea cups and you’ve figured out which finger sandwiches to serve. Now what? It’s time for the final course—dessert! Sweet treats are a tea party must, and while picking something up from the market is a totally solid option (there’s only so much time in the day!), these jam hand pies are great when you want something a little more special. Cute, tasty and easy-to-make, these pies even use ingredients you might already have on-hand.
Ingredients
1 pack premade pie crust
Strawberry jam
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F. On a floured surface, unroll the first pie crust. Cut off the rounded edges so you are left with a large square. Set the scraps aside. Cut down the middle of the big dough square and then lengthwise so you are left with 4 smaller square pieces. Follow this method with the second pie crust. Collect the dough scraps into a ball, roll it flat and cut out two more dough squares similar in size to your existing ones. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect squares!
Mix egg and milk together to make your “egg wash.”
Spread 1 tbsp of jam each onto half of your dough squares and moisten the edges around the jam with egg wash.
Using cookie cutters, cut out shapes on the other dough squares. Place these squares on top of your jam squares and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
Use the dough shapes you cut out of the top squares as decoration. Brush the shapes with egg wash and place them egg-wash-side down onto your pastries. Get creative with it!
Finally, brush the top of your pastries with additional egg wash and bake in the oven for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!

Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
