4 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. cinnamon

Mix all the above ingredients together in a large bowl; pour 2 cups of boiling water, mix well and knead into dough. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough 1/8 inch thick into a 6 inch circle on a lightly floured board. Spoon desired pie filling on half of each circle. Fold dough over filling; press edges together.

Place 1 inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with milk; sprinkle with sugar. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly brown.
