Instructions
- 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 until 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.
