How to Make Fried Fruit Pies

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds.
  5. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 4-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out circles.
  6. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite fruit filling into the center of each circle.
  7. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  8. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 350°F).
  9. Carefully place several pies in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  10. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Remove the pies from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  12. Serve warm or cold, dusted with powdered sugar (optional).
