Preparation / Directions:
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
