Southern Fried Peach Pies image

This is a recipe from my Great Grandmother. I can remember going to her house and sitting down to a lunch of Fried chicken, mash potatoes, green beans, fried corn, biscuits and fried peach pies for dessert. It is a wonder we didn't all die from heart disease but that is country living. These directions were written for me real countryfied so I explained best I could but you will get the jist. Make dough, fill it and fry it!

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Crisco
milk
butter
6 ounces dried peaches
water
1 1/2 cups sugar
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Place flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut in crisco with pastry cutter or fork. Add enough milk to make dough, do not mix too much. Let biscuit dough sit for 1 hour. Meanwhile take dried peaches and put in sauce pan with enough water to cover and cook until soft. Add 1 1/2 cups of sugar and cook 15 minuts more. Remove from stove and mash with potato masher; set aside. Preheat electric skillet to 300 degrees. Take biscuit dough and pull enough off for one pie, roll it out thin on floured board. Take a saucer, place on rolled out dough and trim around it with a sharp knife. Place two big spoons of peaches on one side of dough and lap the other side over in half moon shape. Seal the edges with a fork. Fry pies in skillet until brown, then turn and brown other side. Drain on paper towels. These pies can be eaten warm or stored in a container and eaten the next day room temperature they are awesome either way.
