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! Ingredients:
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) |
Directions:
1. Place flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
2. Cut in crisco with pastry cutter or fork.
3. Add enough milk to make dough, do not mix too much.
4. Let biscuit dough sit for 1 hour.
5. Meanwhile take dried peaches and put in sauce pan with enough water to cover and cook until soft.
6. Add 1 1/2 cups of sugar and cook 15 minuts more.
7. Remove from stove and mash with potato masher; set aside.
8. Preheat electric skillet to 300 degrees.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Fry pies in skillet until brown, then turn and brown other side.
12. Drain on paper towels.
13. These pies can be eaten warm or stored in a container and eaten the next day room temperature they are awesome either way.
