One of my grandma's german recipes. Our whole family called them Those Deep Fried Things , in spite of my grandmother's best efforts to rename them to something like meat pies , or whatever. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
2 teaspoons salt |
3/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 medium onion |
1/2 cup water |
1 block lard |
pastry dough, per dough recipe |
Directions:
1. Make dough per recipe- without baking powder.
2. Mix beef, salt, pepper, onion and water in a bowl.
3. Set aside.
4. Roll dough out with rolling pin.
5. Cut dough into rectangles, about 3 x 4 .
6. Into each dough rectangle, place a ball of meat mixture.
7. Fold dough over and seal around edges with a plate to form a sealed pocket .
8. Heat lard over high-heat.
9. Fry each thing in the lard until outside is starting to brown.
10. Remove and drain on paper towel to absorb excess lard.
