If so, how did you do it and how long of a shelf life does it have (if you know).

I am wondering because I only grind my own and everything turns out quite different with it compared to store bought flour.<br />Also, how do you get your comments below your pictures? I have not been able to figure this out so on my blog so all the photos are posted at the top and then the writing is below it all!

One elder woman made feather light coconut custard, pecan, fig, and sweet potato fried pies and my tante and I would sit and wait for her on the steps of our house to catch her on her route and purchase one or two or three. <br />Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. <br />I am going to try improvising with some of my dried storage fruits, rehydrated and spiced up, and see how they come out.<br />I better plan ahead before I make them to walk a couple more laps around the cow pasture before I indulge in these!<br /><br />notutopiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-87120183050220237052011-07-09T18:07:39.187-07:002011-07-09T18:07:39.187-07:00Oh my!

Their mom was from West Virginia, as was mine. So we had that southern thing in common.<br />Their mom, Norma, made THE BEST fried apple pies and I haven't had one since she passed. Some times Joyce would make them and they were just as good, but not quite like her moms. She never drizzle the icing on them due to the diabetic problems that ran in the family. Sadly, Joyce is also gone. This brought back a lot of good memories.

I think they would freeze quite nicely if you wanted to make a bunch to fry later. Sir Knight thinks the pies are twice the size of a "hostess" hand pie.<br />EnolaEnola Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719123975236426938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-52018109248618801352011-07-08T21:57:37.243-07:002011-07-08T21:57:37.243-07:00Enola,
