Pastry for Fried Pies

List of Ingredients




1 13 oz can Evaporated milk
1 Egg, beaten
5 C all-purpose Flour
1 C + 1 T Shortening
1 T Salt
1 T Sugar


Recipe




Mix milk and egg and set aside. Sift flour and salt to blend. Cut
shortening into dry ingredients. Add milk egg mix and toss lightly to just
moisten dry ingredients. (Roll pastry in waxed paper to chill or can be
frozen till needed) Roll pastry out onto floured board into 6 inch Circles
and fill with dried fruit which has been boiled down. Apples, Apricots,
peaches etc. or Chocolate pudding or as my Mom used to make, mix up cocoa
and sugar and put in pastry and dot with lots of butter fold and seal and
fry in hot shortening and serve. The pies may also be frozen. Defrost
before frying.
This Pastry recipe absorbs very little grease while frying.
