1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon white vinegar
2 cups fruit filling, such as
...cherry, apple or blueberry pie filling
vegetable oil
sugar (optional)
Combine flour and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in shortening with pastry blender until crumbly.
Combine egg and water, stirring with a fork: drizzle
over flour mixture.
Add vinegar, and stir with a fork just until dry
ingredients are moistened.
Divide pastry into thirds;
roll each portion to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly
floured surface, and cut each into 5 inch circles.
Spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons fruit filling onto half of each
pastry circle.
Moisten edges with water.
Fold dough over fruit filling, pressing edges to seal.
Crimp edges with a fork dipped in flour.
Pour oil to depth of 1/2 inch into a large heavy skillet.
Fry pies in hot oil over medium/high heat for 6 to 8
minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
Drain well on paper towels.
Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
Yield: about 1 dozen.
