Ree Drummond knows how to delight her loved ones during long days in the saddle, following the cows around the ranch. These delicious fried pies with a crispy crust and a delicious fruit filling make a great lunchtime snack. The dough is quick and easy to mix, but for ease of handling, let it set in the refrigerator. For the filling, Ree Drummond uses canned cherry and apple pie fillings, which have the fruit and berries already mixed with all the necessary ingredients, but you can also choose other fillings, canned or homemade. Before dusting the fried pies with powdered sugar, let them rest on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

To prepare the doughIn a bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir in 1 cup of shortening with a knife until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 egg and sour milk and knead the dough. Add a little more sour milk if needed. Form the dough into a ball and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Roll the dough into a large square. Trim the edges to create a rectangle. Using a butter knife, cut the dough into 8-10 long rectangles.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the top halves of the rectangles.
Brush the edges of the dough with the remaining beaten egg and seal by folding the bottom half of the rectangle over the filling. Then crimp the edges with the tines of a fork. Repeat with the other pies, filling half with apple filling and the other half with cherry filling.
In a deep medium saucepan, heat the fat over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Fry the patties until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat.

Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
