Roll pie dough to about 1\/8\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 thickness in one or two rectangles (two is easier to manage; they do not need to be perfect rectangles). Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut strips that are about 4\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 wide and 10\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 long (again, these are rough measurements that don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need to be exact). Place about a T. of lime curd in the middle of the strip, about 2 1\/2\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 from the bottom edge. Pile a spoonful of plums on top and fold each strip in half, making a hand pie that is roughly 4\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 wide and 5\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 long. Line up the three cut edges and crimp closed with a fork. Transfer finished hand pies to a parchment lined baking sheet. Add a splash of water to the egg and whisk some more to make an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, brush egg wash over the top of each hand pie. Sprinkle with demerara sugar and bake in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and allow pies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. Serve warm or keep for up to 2 days on the counter or up to 4 in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 1\/4 C. chopped plums 2-4 T. sugar (see note above) 1 T. cornstarch or arrowroot powder Enough pie dough for one double crust pie 8-10 T. lime curd (about 1 T. per pie) 1 egg, lightly whisked Demerara sugar, for sprinkling (optional) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
