Fried Pecan Pies Recipes

Steps:

• Make the crust: Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl.
• Using only your fingertips, pinch the cubes of butter into the flour, breaking up the butter as you go, until no large lumps remain.
• Mix the egg yolks and ice water together in a small bowl with a fork until evenly combined.
• Add the liquid to the flour mixture, reserving a quarter or so in case you don't need all of it--you don't want the pastry to be too wet. Quickly mix everything together with a fork until the dough just starts to come together. Add more liquid to the driest parts of the dough if needed. The dough is ready when it holds together in a ball when squeezed in your palm.
• Transfer the dough to a clean surface and bring together in a disc. Wrap the dough disc in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 days.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Lightly flour a clean surface and unwrap the disc of chilled dough. Flour the top of the dough. Using a rolling pin, push down on the dough, giving it a quarter turn every few smushes, to spread the dough evenly and ensure it doesn't stick to the surface.
• Start to roll out the dough, continuing to turn. If any cracks form, smush them back together. Roll out the dough to a circle about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick and place into a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish, trimming any excess dough around the edges. Crimp the edges in a decorative pattern.
• Place a piece of parchment in the center of the pie crust and add the pie weights or dried beans. 10. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together 1½ cups pecans, corn syrup, eggs, sugar, vanilla, melted butter, and salt.
• Carefully lift the parchment with the pie weights from the par-baked pie crust, then pour in the filling. Top with the remaining ½ cup (60 G) of pecans in concentric circles.
• Return the pie to the oven for 20 minutes, then cover with a piece of foil and continue baking for 40 minutes, until the filling is completely set. Let the pie cool completely.
• Cut the pie into 8 equal slices and carefully insert a popsicle stick into the crust side of each slice, using a small paring knife to make an incision if needed. Place the pie slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze overnight, or until solid.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Working in batches, dip the slices of pie into the prepared pancake batter, then carefully transfer to the hot oil and fry for 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar and serve warm.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the pecans. Simmer for about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• 2. Bring the crusts to room temperature. Unroll one on a lightly floured surface and cut circles using a 4-inch circle cutter. Re-roll the dough and repeat until all of the dough has been used. You should end up with about 24 circles.
• 3. Place a heaping tablespoon of the pecan filling mixture in the center of a pie crust circle. Lightly moisten the edges of the crust with water and then fold the crust over, crimping the edges with a dinner fork. Repeat the process until all of the pie crusts have been used.
• 4. In a large Dutch oven, heat about 1 inch oil in the bottom to 350 degrees F. Fry the pies in batches for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side - or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels then lightly dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm.

Steps:

• To make the pastry, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Cut in 1 cup of the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 of the eggs and the buttermilk and stir until it just comes together. Add a little more buttermilk if needed. Form it into a ball and refrigerate for at least an hour.
• To make the pies, roll the pastry out into a large square. Trim the edges to make a rectangle. Cut into 8 to 10 long rectangles, using a butter knife.
• Spoon a tablespoon or so of filling into the top half of one of the rectangles.
• Use the remaining beaten eggs to seal the edges by folding the bottom half of the rectangle over the top. Then crimp the edges shut with a fork. Repeat with the other pies, filling half with apple pie filling and half with cherry pie filling.
• Heat shortening in a medium, deep saucepan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the pies until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and immediately drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil. Cream butter and sugar. Beat in syrup, flour, salt and vanilla extract. Stir in pecans until well mixed.
• Unroll pie dough, cut into circles using a 4" cookie cutter. Take the excess dough, roll it back out, and cut more pieces.
• Put 1 to 1/2 tablespoon of mixture to each piece of dough in the center. Fold over into a half moon looking pie.
• Using a fork seal and crimp the edge's of each pie --
• Fry the pie's at 350* for about 3 minute's turning as needed.
• Take out let cool slightly and eat away!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, water, and cornstarch. Bring to a full boil, and remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Gradually beat in cooked syrup mixture. Stir in salt, vanilla, and pecans. Pour into pie shell.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until filling is set.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in large saucepan over high heat. Add pecans. Return to a boil and boil 1 minute. Rinse under running hot water. Drain and put in large bowl. Add sugar and toss to coat.
• In a deep skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 350F degrees over medium heat. With a slotted spoon, add 1/2 the pecans. Fry 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown, stirring often.
• Remove pecans to a colander to drain. Sprinkle with salt and toss lightly to coat. Spread on wax paper to cool. Repeat until all are cooked.

Steps:

• 1. In large saucepan add all ingredents Except crust, oil and vinegar. Bring to a boil, cook until slightly thick. Cool Slightly
• 2. Cut pie crust into 4"-6" circles. Put 1 TBSP filling in center of crust. Fold over and crimp crust.
• 3. Heat oil with vinegar(vinegar keeps the pie from absorbing to much oil, you will not taste it I promise. Fry on one side til golden brown, flip and fry til golden. Drain on paper toweling(or brown paper bag)
• 4. sprinkle with powdered sugar, or dip in galze. Glaze is 1 cup powder sugar dash vanilla and enough water to make a thin glaze
