Zubereitung von Traditional Fried Pie Pastry
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes (the longer the better!).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use a 4-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out circles.
- Spoon your favorite filling (about 1-2 tablespoons) into the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges to seal.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the filled pastries into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fried pies from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve warm. Enjoy!
