How To Make fried pie pastry dough

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in crisco with a pastry knife until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Step 2
    Combine beaten egg and ice water. Sprinkle over flour. Add in white vinegar. Mix until it all comes together to form a ball. Add more water if its looks too dry. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Roll out dough into 6 inch rounds. Fill with favorite fruit filling, wet edges with a little water, fold over and crimp together with a fork.
  • Step 4
    Deep fry for 2-4 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
