Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll out the grand biscuits very thin.
- Place some peaches and sugar in the center of each biscuit.
- Cut around the edges of the biscuits to form a shape that encloses the fruit.
- Seal the edges to prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Fry the assembled pies in hot oil until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier crust, consider chilling the grand biscuits before rolling them out. You can substitute fresh peaches with canned or frozen peaches, but be sure to drain excess liquid. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches. For a twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling. These fried pies are reminiscent of American recipes, offering a comforting dessert experience.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these fried pies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. They pair well with a light Lettuce Salad Dressing on the side to balance the sweetness. For a delightful twist, serve them alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a perfect afternoon snack.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fried pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, which will help restore their crispiness, rather than microwaving them which may make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can experiment with different fruits like apples, berries, or even a combination of fruits. Just adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of the fruit you choose. Each variation can bring a new flavor dimension to your fried pies.
What type of oil is best for frying?
For frying, a neutral oil with a high smoke point such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil works best. These oils will not impart any strong flavors and will ensure that the pies fry evenly and become golden brown without burning.
Can I make these pies ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pies ahead of time by assembling them and refrigerating them before frying. Just keep them covered to prevent drying out. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply fry them fresh for the best texture and flavor.
