Granny’s Fried Pies
Another wonderful recipe Granny left us... My husband remembers stopping by his Granny's house on the way home from school and she'd have these made and ready for her grandchildren to devour before heading home to homework and chores. I never tasted one of hers, but they assure me they were the best anyone could ever make, then or now. I'm not one to disagree with good food.
