Fried Fruit Pies
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together.
-
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
Roll out each dough disk to a 1/8-inch thickness. Place a spoonful of fresh fruit in the center of each dough round. Fold the dough over the fruit and press the edges together to seal.
-
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the fruit pies in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
-
Sprinkle the fried fruit pies with powdered sugar and serve warm.
