Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) NEW: You can now switch to Cook Mode to keep your screen awake.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Cook, stirring frequently, until the strawberries release their juices and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool, then stir in the lemon zest.
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to gently roll out the circles of pie dough. Trim the edges to form each into a large square. Cut each large square into quarters. Place four on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the strawberry mixture into the center of each of the four squares, leaving a border. Brush the edges with the egg and top with another square. Use a fork to seal the edges and create a decorative border. In the center of each hand pie, use the fork to create a vent. Brush with the milk and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
Bake, rotating once, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy your golden, flaky hand piespure bliss in every bite!
