2 c. sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 c. shortening
2/3 c. cold milk

Sift dry ingredients together and cut shortening into dry mixture. Gradually mix in milk. Roll out on floured tombstone (plain side) and cut 4 inch circles (a small saucer is helpful as a cutting guide). Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of fruit on half of each circle and fold other half over it. Press edges together and seal with tines of fork. Prick tops and fry in oil in deep skillet turning as each side browns. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
