Zubereitung von Pocket Pies
- Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor.
- Pulse for a few seconds then transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- Cut in 1 cup cold vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 3/4 cup milk all at once and mix with a spatula until the dough just comes together.
- Lightly flour your hands and surface. Turn the dough out onto the counter and gently knead 10-20 times.
- Roll the dough to 1/3 to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 2 1/4-inch biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out circles.
- Roll each circle thinly to 5-6 inches in diameter.
- Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of filling onto the center of each circle.
- Brush the edges of half the circle with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water). Fold over the filling, pressing firmly to seal and crimp the edges with a fork.
- Gently flatten each pie and cut 3 slits in the top.
- For deep-frying, prick the bottom of each pie with a fork.
- **Pan-frying:** Heat 1-2 tablespoons oil (vegetable, canola, or butter) in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 2-3 pies at a time for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- **Deep-frying:** Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry 1-2 pies at a time for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown.
- **Baking:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pies on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- **Mango Filling:** Combine 2 cups mango chunks, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool completely before using.
- **Chocolate Filling:** Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup melted butter in a zip-top bag. Mix well. Snip a corner and pipe onto dough.
