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