Fried Lemon Pies

Step 1

Place 1 inch of oil in a heavy pan, heat over medium heat until hot (about 350 degrees if using a thermometer.)

Step 2

On lightly floured surface, roll out pie crust, making sure any cracks are sealed. Cut into sixths. Place 2 tablespoons of filling on 3 of your pie crust sections. Place the the remaining pie crusts on top of the filled sections and seal well with a fork. Carefully place pies in hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry for one minute then turn over for another 30-45 seconds. Remove from oil to drain on racks or a paper towel covered plate. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before eating. Dust with sugar and enjoy.

Step 3

Repeat with remaining pie crust.
