âWith a wonderfully flaky crust, these stuffed cherry pies always make a quick dessert,â Monica Larkin notes from Shinnston, West Virginia. âMy family loves them after dinner or as a snack, but theyâre also wonderful for my husbandâs take-along lunch.â Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons shortening |
1/3 cup boiling water |
1 cup cherry pie filling |
oil for deep-fat frying |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
1/4 cup whipped topping |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times.
2. Divide dough into four portions; roll each into an 8-in. circle. Place 1/4 cup of pie filling in the center of each circle. Fold dough over filling; secure with toothpicks.
3. In an electric skillet or deep fat-fryer, heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. Fry pies, folded side down, in oil for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn and fry 2-3 minutes longer. Drain on paper towels. Remove toothpicks. Serve with syrup and whipped topping. Yield: 4 servings.
