Instructions
1. Make the Pecan Pie Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, beaten egg, and melted butter. Stir until well blended and set aside.
2. Roll & Cut the Dough
- Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface.

- Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle.
3. Seal the Pies
- Brush the edges with the egg wash (egg yolk + milk).
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
- Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
4. Fry to Golden Crispness
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or heavy pot.
- Carefully add 2-3 pies at a time and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a cooling rack or paper towels.
5. Serve & Enjoy!
