Southern Fried Pies The Best Recipe

	Rosemaryblue / All my dishes 1 year, 7 months ago You will now be famous. You and "whoever" will be glad that you made these! They are "some good". A staple in many southern restaurants. Famous with southern barbeque, and now you can even find them "along the way" when traveling. Some are better than others, these are better! :)... More Prep:10m Cook:5m Servings:8	Rosemaryblu

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup CRISCO

3/4 cup milk

Prepared filling - dried apricots, dried peaches, dried apples, prepared according to package directions (sweetened to taste)

May use chocolate filling, preserves, or your choice of filling

NOTE: LOTS OF "explaining" IN THE DIRECTIONS, BUT YOU WANT THE PERFECT FRIED PIE! :)

Directions

In large bowl, place flour, baking powder, salt, sugar

Whisk all together

Cut in CRISCO as in a pie crust with pastry blender or fork

Add milk, stir and "gather up" as in pie crust pastry

Chill for a few minutes

Roll out like pastry, fairly thin

Cut into circles*, (the lid of the Crisco can is perfect)

Place choice of filling on one half of the circle, not quite going to the edge

Bring other half over the filling to the edge

Seal the edges of the pastry with a fork dipped in water

Meanwhile heat about a half inch of Crisco solid shortening in an iron skillet, (preferably) and carefully

Lift pies with a spatula and *carefully, carefully* place in hot oil

Watch *carefully*, and turn when golden brown

Watch *carefully * again, and when other side is golden brown

remove with spatula

Place on paper towel to drain

Sprinkle each cooked fried pie with granulated sugar

*MAY CUT DIFFERENT SIZE CIRCLES, USING A BISCUIT CUTTER, SAUCER, ETC.

These are simply delicious! Hard to explain how very good! Just try them and see!

The only thing better than pie is FRIED PIE. I could make these with a peach or sweet potato filling. The possibilities are endless. Thanks for sharing. :)

In my part of the world (New Mexico) we call pies like this....empanadas! Nothing better no matter where one lives! The fillings are left up to the imagination, be it meat or fruit...they are all melt in your mouth delicious.
