Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour |
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup (scant) chilled solid vegetable shortening (preferably non-hydrogenated), cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
6 tablespoons (or more) ice water |
1 12-ounce bag frozen blackberries (3 cups; do not thaw) |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
pinch of salt |
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for glaze) |
vegetable oil (for frying) |
powdered sugar |
vanilla ice cream |
Directions:
1. For dough: Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in medium bowl. Add shortening. Using fingertips, blend until coarse meal forms. Add 6 tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until moist clumps form and adding more water by tablespoonfuls if dry. Gather into ball; form into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 2 hours.
2. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 14-inch round. Using 6- to 7-inch round plate as guide, cut out 2 rounds. Gather remaining dough into ball. Roll out dough and cut out more rounds, gathering scraps and rerolling as needed for total of 6 rounds. Transfer rounds to rimmed baking sheet, layering between sheets of waxed paper. Cover and chill 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
3. For filling: Mix berries, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes; stir again.
4. Place 1 dough round on lightly floured surface. Brush with egg glaze. Spoon 1/2 cup berry mixture into center; fold sides of crust over filling, pinching tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining dough rounds and filling.
5. Add enough oil to heavy large saucepan to reach depth of 2 1/2 inches. Attach deep-fry thermometer. Heat oil to 330°F to 340°F. Cook pies, 2 at a time, until deep golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm with ice cream.Adapted from Lamberts Downtown Barbecue
