Fried Pie Dough
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in butter until the mixture is crumbly. Gradually add water until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
Choose your desired filling from apple pie filling, apricot preserves, chocolate chips, peach pie filling, or seasonal fruit filling.
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
Fill and Seal Pies
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold over and seal the edges with a fork or by crimping.
Fry the Pies
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the pies to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
