Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 pies

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening, plus more for frying
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups buttermilk, more if needed
Apple pie filling, canned
Cherry pie filling, canned
Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Cut in 1 cup of the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 of the eggs and the buttermilk and stir until it just comes together. Add a little more buttermilk if needed. Form it into a ball and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • To make the pies, roll the pastry out into a large square. Trim the edges to make a rectangle. Cut into 8 to 10 long rectangles, using a butter knife.
  • Spoon a tablespoon or so of filling into the top half of one of the rectangles.
  • Use the remaining beaten eggs to seal the edges by folding the bottom half of the rectangle over the top. Then crimp the edges shut with a fork. Repeat with the other pies, filling half with apple pie filling and half with cherry pie filling.
  • Heat shortening in a medium, deep saucepan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the pies until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and immediately drain on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Provided by evegpt

Categories     Pie

Time 45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (11 ounce) package dried peaches
water
1/2 cup sugar
1 (9 1/2 ounce) carton ready-to-bake biscuits
lard (that is what Mama used,,I use Crisco and I think you could probably use oil, although I haven't trie)

Steps:

  • Place peaches with water to cover in saucepan; simmer for 30 minutes or until soft. Drain off excess liquid; discard. Mash peaches with potato masher; add sugar, cool thoroughly.
  • Roll out biscuits on lightly floured board to make thin circles about 6 inches in diameter. Place portion of peach mixture on one half of each circle; fold over other half, seal edge tightly with a fork. Brown on each side in about 1/4 inch hot lard in a heavy skillet.

Tips:

  • Use the right flour. All-purpose flour is a good choice for fried pinchy pies, but you can also use bread flour or cake flour. Bread flour will give the pies a chewier texture, while cake flour will make them more tender.
  • Keep the dough cold. The dough should be cold when you roll it out and cut it into shapes. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and will also help the pies hold their shape when they are fried.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you are frying the pies, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the pies will not cook evenly.
  • Fry the pies until they are golden brown. The pies should be fried until they are golden brown on all sides. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Drain the pies on paper towels. After the pies are fried, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the pies warm. Fried pinchy pies are best served warm. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Fried pinchy pies are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of fried pinchy pies that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give fried pinchy pies a try. You won't be disappointed!
