Hillbilly Fried Pies

Mix pastry as usual.

Work dough into a firm ball. Divide pastry in half.

On lightly floured surface, roll 1/2 into about 10-inch square. Cut into four 5-inch squares or circles.

Repeat with other half of dough, after filling the first 4.

I like to cook dried fruit until tender, sweeten to taste and use enough water to keep from sticking. Fry in about 1-inch of Crisco on medium heat, turning once.
