Instructions

Melt shortening in heavy pot.  Add meat. Cook until pink is gone. 
Add vegetables and season to taste.  (Season well, as meat will lose
seasoning during frying.)  When meat is completely done and vegetables
glazed, remove from heat and drain excess liquid.  Stir in 1 tablespoon
flour. 

Sift dry ingredients together.  Cut in shortening.  Beat egg
and add to milk.  Work gradually into dry ingredients until proper
consistency to roll.   Break into small pieces and roll very
thin,.  Cut into rounds using a saucer as a guide. 

To assemble: 

Place a large tablespoon of prepared meat along edge and halfway in the center
of round dough.  Fold the other half over, making edges meet and
seal with water.  form edges with fork.  Drop in deep fat and
cook until golden brown.  Drain and serve hot.  Makes approximately
18.
