Servings: 100 Portions
Portions: 1 Pie Each
Temperature: 350 degrees F. Deep Fat
14 lb (2-No. 10 can) peach pie filling, canned, prepared
PIE CRUST:
5-1/2 quart (5 lb) flour, wheat, pastry, sifted
1-1/8 cups (5 oz) milk, nonfat, dry
6 3/4 tablespoon (3 oz) baking powder
3 tablespoon salt
3 cups ( 1 lb 4 oz) shortening
5-1/2 cups water
Mix and sift together dry ingredients. Blend shortening into dry ingredients until
mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add water and mix only enough to form a soft dough.
On lightly floured board, roll dough into a rectangular sheet, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut
into 6-inch circles. Wash edges of each circle with water.
Place 1/4 cup (2 oz) canned prepared peach pie filling in the center of each circle.
Fold over to form a half circle; seal edges with a fork. Fry pies, a few at a time, 2
minutes on one side, turn and fry 2 minutes on other side or until golden brown. Drain
on absorbent paper.
If desired, a No.10 can may be used to cut out circles or dough may be weighed in 1 1/2
oz portions and rolled into 6-inch circles, 1/8-inch thick.
