Recipe Introduction


These pastries can be baked instead of fried. Place pies on a lightly greased baking sheet, and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, or until crust is golden.


List of Ingredients




5 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 c sugar
1 1/2 c vegetable shortening
3/4 c to 7/8 c cold water
1 (21 0z) can apricot pie filling, or 2 1/2 c apricot preserves

Sift together flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or two knives, and combine lightly until mixture resembles cornmeal. Sprinkle 3/4 to 7/8 c cold water over flour mixture, a little at a time, and mix lightly with a fork, using only enough water so the pastry holds together when pressed gently into a ball. On a lightly floured board, roll out dough to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut rounds about 5 inches in diameter, and put about 3 tbs. of filling in the center of each. Moisten edges of dough with water and fold over one side, press edges together firmly to seal, and crimp with fingers or fork tines.

In a heavy pot or skillet, fry pies in 1/2 inch of hot oil (350 to 375 degrees) until golden brown on both sides, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Yield about 1 dozen.
