Preparation

Step 1


Fry Pies:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake flour, salt, sugar. Cut in shortening until pieces are the size of small peas. Add water a little at a time, until the flour mixture is moistened. Form into 2 balls.

Divide each ball into 10 pieces and roll each piece into a circle. Or if you have a large dough press, roll out dough and cut out circles with press. Spoon pie filling onto one half. Brush half of edge with water; fold over and press to seal with dough press.

Heat shortening; fry a few pies at a time in deep fat until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

Glaze:

In a large bowl, combine glaze ingredients until smooth. While pies are still warm, dip them into glaze. Allow pies to drip excess glaze on wire racks until cool.
