Combine flour, baking powder and salt; cut in 1/3 cup butter with pastry blender until crumbly. Sprinkle cold milk ( 1 tablespoon at a time) evenly over surface; stir with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into a ball; chill. Roll pastry to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut 16 (4-inch) circles from pastry. Combine peaches and next 4 ingredients; stir gently. Spoon about 2 tablespoon peach mixture onto half of each pastry circle. Fold each circle in half, and press edges with a fork to seal. Pour oil to depth of 2 inches into a large heavy skillet; heat to 375 degrees. Fry pies in hot oil over medium heat until golden. Drain well on paper towels
