Categories: Pies, Snacks, Fruits, Pastry
Yield: 18 Servings
MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
12 oz Dried persimmons or peaches
3/4 c Granulated sugar
1 tb Butter
1 ts Lemon juice
MMMMM-------------------------PIE DOUGH------------------------------
4 c A-P flour
2 tb Granulated sugar; more for
- sprinkling
2 ts Salt
1 c Leaf lard, butter, or
- shortening
1 c Milk
2 c Clarified butter; for frying
For The Filling:
In a large saucepan, combine the persimmons and sugar. Add enough
water to cover the fruit. Cover the pan and cook over low heat
until the fruit is falling apart. Remove the lid and continue to
cook until the water is evaporated. Add the butter and lemon juice;
mix well. Set aside.
For The Pie Dough:
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Using a
pastry cutter or fork, cut in the lard until the mixture is
crumbly. Mix in the milk and stir until the dough forms a ball.
Roll out the dough very thin and cut into eighteen 10" circles.
Spoon equal amounts of the filling into each pastry circle and fold
in half. Seal the pastry with a fork dipped in cold water.
Place the clarified butter in a small high-sided skillet. Place
over medium heat. Fry a few pies at a time, browning on both sides,
5 to 7 minutes. Drain the pies on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly
with granulated sugar.
