2 c Sugar
6 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c Butter; melted

2 c A-P flour
1 ts Salt
1/2 c Shortening or lard

In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar and cocoa
powder. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture
forms a paste. Set aside while you prepare the dough.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut up the
shortening with a long-tined fork. Add the milk and stir
until the dough sticks together. Divide into 10
portions. Roll each portion out on a floured surface
into a 5" or 6" circle.

Place 2 tablespoons of filling in each. Wet the edges
and fold over, crimping with a fork.

In a large skillet, pour the oil to a depth of 1/4" and
heat over medium heat.

Place the chocolate pies in the hot oil and fry until
browned on both sides, turning as needed. Remove to a
paper towel-lined plate.

You can sprinkle powdered sugar on chocolate fried pies
if you like.
