beat egg add to evaporated milk.
Add milk and egg mixture to dry ingredients.
mix until it forms a dough. Let rest 30 min.
in frig. Pinch off pieces of dough and roll
to the size you like, I make them about 5 in.
in diameter and about 1/8 in. thick or a little
over to make them easier to handle,
using your favorite filling place a large table spoon of filling in center of crust moisten
the outer edge of circle with water fold over filling and crimp with a fork press down gently to level out the filling fry in a skillet
with 1/2 in. oil on medium heat or in a deep
fat fryer at 375*F For the filling I use caned pie filling on the apple and peach filling I pulse it in the food processor just enough to cut the fruit into smaller pieces.Cherry and lemond are fine as is. Before I retired
I made my own filling and sold about 100 of these pies per day.
