Default rec: Grandmother's Fried [Mincemeat] Pies

As requested...

Grandmother's Fried Pies
Source: 10 ways to serve Grandmother's Mince Meat Goodies (recipe
leaflet from the now-defunct Whipple Co. of Natick, Mass.)
Formatted by Jean B.

2 Tbsps butter
1/2 c sugar
1 egg
1/2 c milk
2 c flour
4 tsps baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
a speck of grated nutmeg
1 c Grandmothers Glass Jar Mincemeat*

flour for the board
fat (or oil) for deep-frying

Cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and beat well. Add the milk.

Sift the dry ingredients and add to the first mixture.

Turn onto a well-floured board. Roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut
with a large round cookie cutter. Put a spoonful of mincemeat on
the center of half of the circles of dough. Moisten edges and
place another circle of dough on top. Press edges together.

Fry in deep fat that is hot enough to color a 1-inch cube of bread
golden brown in 60 seconds. Do not let the pies touch each other
in the fat.

*We don't know how juicy this was.
