Sift flour and cut shortening into flour. Add beaten egg and cold milk. Form dough into a ball and then separate into 6 or 8 smaller balls of dough. Dough should be wet and a little sticky. Roll each ball of dough on a lightly floured board or pastry cloth. Cut dough into a 5 - 5 1/2 inch circle.

To assemble, place a heaping tablespoon of filling on one side of the pastry round. Dampen the edge of pie containing meat with fingertips, fold top over meat and crimp with fork dipped in water. Prick twice on top with fork. Fry in deep fat fryer at 350 degrees until golden brown. Pies freeze well in plastic sandwich wrap. To fry frozen pies, do not thaw before frying.
