- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup shortening, softened

- 1 13-ounce can evaporated milk
- 2 1 /2 cups any flavor pie filling
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and milk together and then add to the shortening-flour mixture.
- Mix with a fork just so it holds together and no more.
- Roll out rather thin, to about 1 /8-inch thickness.
- Cut out small rounds using a 7-inch saucer or circle as a pattern.
- Spoon some of your favorite fruit pie filling on one side.
- Be sure your filling is fairly thick and cold or it will run.
- Fold over and seal the edges well.
- Deep fry in melted shortening, about 2 inches deep, until golden brown on both sides, 2 minutes per side.
- Dip into the powdered sugar glaze and then put onto a baking sheet or cooling rack to cool before serving.
