Instructions:
-
Cut Butter into Flour:
Begin by cutting the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. -
Prepare Milk and Egg Yolk Mixture:
In a separate bowl, combine the milk and egg yolk, then pour this mixture over the flour-butter mixture, stirring until well combined. The result should be a smooth dough. -
Roll out Dough:
On a floured surface, roll out small portions of the dough into thin circles. Ensure the surface is well-floured to prevent sticking. -
Fill with Pie Filling:
Place your desired pie filling in the center of each rolled-out dough circle. You can use sweet or savory fillings depending on your preference. -
Fold and Seal:
Fold over the dough to cover the filling, forming a half-moon shape. Use a fork to seal the edges firmly, ensuring no filling leaks out during frying. -
Fry until Golden:
Heat a pot of oil or deep fryer to medium-high heat. Carefully place the pies in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Ensure the oil is hot enough to create a crispy crust but not too hot to burn the pies. -
Coat with Sugar:
Once fried, transfer the pies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Then, place sugars or your desired coating in a brown paper bag and gently shake the pies in the bag to coat them evenly. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the Fried Pies warm and crispy for the best experience. Enjoy the delightful combination of crispy crust and flavorful filling in every bite!
