Pie filling of your choice
pie dough
1/2 C. powered sugar
1 T. milk
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg, if baking them
Directions:
Directions:
Roll out dough to 1/16th thickness, a little thicker than a tortilla. Cut the dough into 5-inch circles. Put 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough round. Fold the dough rounds in half; wet your fingers and press to seal the edges with water. Crimp the edges with the tines of a fork.
To Fry the Pies: Pour about 3 inches of oil into a deep-frying pan or Dutch oven, and set it over medium-high heat. The oil is hot enough when a scrap of dough dropped in the pan sizzles and bubbles, about 350º (The temperature of the oil will fluctuate during the frying process, so you might want to use a thermometer.) Fry the pies, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain the pies on plates lined with paper towels.
Baking Option: If you’d rather bake the pies, preheat the oven to 375º. Brush the top of each pie with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water), and bake them on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
For the Glaze: Whisk the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Using a pastry brush, glaze the warm pies. These freeze well.
