FRIED PEACH PIE
Steps:
- To prepare the pie dough, beat together the butter, sugar, and salt for 3 minutes on medium speed in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the egg and beat for 30 seconds. Add the flour and water and beat for 15 seconds. Turn off the machine, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and beat again for 10 seconds. Sccop up the dough with your hands and form it into a 1-inch thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a medium-sized saute pan. Saute the peaches and sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the jam or preserves, cayenne, and white pepper; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 16 by 11-inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out 6 5 1/4-inch circles. (For a more free-form shape, divide the dough into six pieces and roll out.) Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Fill the lower half of each circle with about 1/4 cup of the cooked peaches. Fold the top half of the dough over the filling and crimp the edges securely with a fork. Refrigerate for 20 minutes before frying.
- Heat 2 1/2 inches of vegetable oil to 350 degrees in a heavy 4-quart saucepan. Fry pies 2 or 3 at a time until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a 200 degree oven until all the pies are fried. Serve immediately with ice cream.
FRIED PEACH PIES
Steps:
- In a large bowl, sift together flour and salt.
- Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles large crumbs.
- Add water and stir until a dough begins to form.
- Turn dough out onto a work surface and begin kneading until you have a soft, uniform ball of dough. (dough will be very crumbly at first)
- Cut dough into 8 equal size pieces and roll into a ball.
- Place dough balls on a baking sheet and press them into a disc. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes or until ready to use.
- In a large saucepan, add peaches, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Toss to coat peaches in sugar.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat until peaches are tender enough to mash.
- Mash the peaches (I like to mash some and then cut the rest into small chunks)
- Allow the peaches to continue simmering until thickened and the juices have dissolved.
- Stir in butter and lemon juice.
- Stir in cornstarch if needed.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together powdered sugar and milk until silky. (may need to add more milk)
- Stir in a pinch of salt and vanilla extract. Set aside until ready to use.
- To assemble the pies, roll a dough ball out to about 5-6 inches wide.
- Place 2 tablespoons of peach filling in the center.
- Fold the dough over the peach filling and press the edges of the dough together firmly.
- Use a pizza cutter to trim the edges to make them neater.
- Crimp the edges with a fork to further seal the pie. Repeat these steps with the rest of the pies.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or deep skillet to 350 F.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place 2-3 pies in the oil and fry until lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. (flip midway if needed)
- Place fried pies on a cooling rack.
- When the pies are done frying, brush one side with the glaze. Then, once the glaze has hardened, brush them once again.
- Serve once the final glaze has hardened.
