Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

---------------------------DOUGH--------------------------------
6 c Flour 3/4 c Shortening
1 t Salt 1 1/2 c Water
1 T Sugar

-----------------------FRUIT FILLING----------------------------
20 oz Mixed dried fruit 1 t Cinnamon
1/2 lb Raisins 1/2 t Nutmeg
3/4 c Sugar 1 c Pinon nuts(other nuts okay)
1/2 t Cloves

Mix flour, salt and sugar; add shortening and mix well. Add beaten
egg to water and then to dry mixture. Dough should be soft but not
sticky. Make small balls of dough. Roll out to 5 inches diameter and
1/8" thick. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling on half of rolled out
dough turning other half of dough over and pressing edges together.
Pinch edges between thumb and fore finger giving the dough a
half-turn. Fry in deep fat until golden brown. Drain. To make fruit
filling, add enough water to cover the dried fruit and raisins. Cook
over low heat until tender. Add sugar, spices, and nuts. Mix until
well blended. ( A 21 oz. can of fruit pie filling can be substituted
for the fruit filling.)
