Title: Mama's Fried Pies
Categories: Pies, Pastry, Snacks, Fruits
Yield: 6 Pies
8 oz Dried peaches
1 c Sugar
2 tb Butter
1 Homemade pie crust or ready
- made biscuit dough
Oil; for frying
MMMMM---------------------HOMEMADE PIE CRUST--------------------------
1 1/2 c A-P flour
Salt
1/2 c Shortening
1/2 c Ice-cold water
Cook fruit in water until tender. Drain and mix with sugar and
margarine. Mash well. Refrigerate overnight if possible. Roll out
homemade piecrust dough and cut into saucer-sized circles.
Spoon fruit onto circles and fold over into crescent shapes, then
close the edges completely with a fork. Fry until golden brown.
Place fried pies on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Variations:
For baked pies, place crescents on a lightly-greased baking sheet
in a 400 F oven until golden brown.
For apple pies, use dried apples and add apple pie spice (or nutmeg
and cinnamon) and vanilla to taste.
For prune pies, use dry, pitted prunes and add vanilla to taste.
Homemade Pie Crust:
Place the flour and a dash of salt in a mixing bowl. Add the
shortening and cut it in with a pastry blender or use your hands,
as I do. Add the water, 1 ts at a time, kneading until the dough is
smooth.
