Tasty Tuesday

            I cooked Pioneer Woman style the other night, after watching her show on the Food Network the night before, it was all we could think about, yummy lasagna with homemade garlic/cheesy bread, it was perfect! Now, I owe my hubby the fried pies we watched her make so I'm sharing that recipe with you today, as I head to the kitchen to whip up a batch for my man, it's not everyday we eat fried food so these may put our tummies in shock, but you've got to spoil your husband now and then! lol

Fried Pies

Ingredients

6 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups buttermilk, more if needed
Apple pie filling, canned
Cherry pie filling, canned
Powdered sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
To make the pastry, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup of the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 of the eggs and the buttermilk and stir until it just comes together. Add a little more buttermilk if needed. Form it into a ball and refrigerate for at least an hour.
To make the pies, roll the pastry out into a large square. Trim the edges to make a rectangle. Cut into 8 to 10 long rectangles, using a butter knife.
Spoon a tablespoon or so of filling into the top half of one of the rectangles.
Use the remaining beaten eggs to seal the edges by folding the bottom half of the rectangle over the top. Then crimp the edges shut with a fork. Repeat with the other pies, filling half with apple pie filling and half with cherry pie filling
Heat the remaining 4 cups shortening in a medium, deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry the pies until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and immediately drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve
