     1/4  Teaspoon      ground ginger -- allspice, and

                        PASTRY:
   2 1/2  Cups          all purpose flour
   1      Teaspoon      baking powder

Preparation:

In a large saucepan, combine filling ingredients. Cook over medium low heat for 12 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Cool. For pastry, combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide into 12 portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 6 inch circle. Spoon 1/4 to 1/3 cup filling on half of each circle. Moisten edges with water; fold dough over filling and press edges with a fork to seal. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Cut slits in top. Bake at 425 F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Servings: 12
