Virginia's Pie Crust

This pie crust recipe was given to me by Virginia and it
is the pie crust I always make now. Much better than
any other I have made. Tender and flaky. I love having
the frozen crust ready to make up in the freezer. Just
pull one out and let sit for awhile to thaw, or microwave
it for 30 seconds or so.

Fried Pies

(Cherry and Chocolate)

Yield: 6 individual pies


Cherry Filling

1/2 cup fresh cherries
1/8 cup cherry preserves

For Chocolate Pie:

1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled

Dough

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup ice water

Oil, for deep-frying

Glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. To make the cherry filling:
In a small bowl, combine the cherries with the preserves.


2. To make the dough:
In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
Add the ice water while the processor is running, until the dough forms a ball.

Divide the dough in half. Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on a flat board or surface. Roll out each portion of dough to 1-16th thickness, a little thicker than a tortilla.

Cut the dough into 5-inch circles; each ball should make three rounds.

Put 1 tablespoon of 1 filling flavor (either cherry or chocolate)
in the center of each dough round.

Fold the dough rounds in half; wet your fingers and press to seal the edges with water. Crimp the edges with the tines of a fork.

3. To fry the pies:
Pour about 3 inches of oil into a deep-frying pan or Dutch oven,
and set it over medium-high heat.

The oil is hot enough when a scrap of dough dropped in the pan sizzles and bubbles, about 350 degrees F. (The temperature of the oil will fluctuate during the frying process, so you might want to use a thermometer.)

Fry the pies, a few at a time, until golden brown,

about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Drain the pies on plates lined with paper towels.

4. Glaze:
Whisk the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
Using a pastry brush, glaze the warm pies.
Serve immediately.
