Ingredients:

Serving

6 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
2 cups shortening
2/3 cup water
2 eggs
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1-1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
oil for deep-fat frying
confectioners' sugar

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Combine the water, eggs and vinegar; gradually add to dry ingredients, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until easy to handle.
Meanwhile, place sweet potato in a small saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or just until tender. Drain.
In a large skillet, combine the sugar, butter and potatoes; cook and stir for 15-20 minutes or until syrup is golden brown. Remove from the heat and mash. Stir in the lemon juice, salt and vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
Roll out pastry to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 5-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Spoon 2 tablespoons filling onto half of each circle. Moisten edges with water; fold dough over filling and press edges with a fork to seal.
In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry pies in batches for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 14 pies.
