Carolyn Prokopyk’s fried peach pies

Filling

1/2 cup sugar

3 T cornstarch

1/2 cup water

8-10 Chilton County peaches

11 oz peach nectar

Peel and dice peaches and set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring nectar and sugar to a rolling boil. Dissolve 2 T cornstarch in 1/4 cup cold water. Add to boiling nectar. Reduce heat to medium and add diced peaches. Return to low boil. Dissolve 1 T cornstarch in 1/4 cup cold water and add to mixture. Let filling fully cool before making pies.

Crust

3 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup butter flavored Crisco

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

cold water

Mix flour and Crisco until mixture resembles corn meal. Add sugar and salt. Continue mixing while adding cold water. Add enough water until mixture becomes dough.

Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

water

Mix sugar, salt and vanilla. Continue mixing while adding enough water to form a glaze.

Roll dough out thin and cut into circles. You can use anything round as a template. Spoon pie filling onto center of circle, fold over and press edges together. Drop pies into hot grease and fry. When pies are golden brown, place on a cooling rack. While pies are still hot, drizzle glaze on top.
