  a circle 1/16 to 1/8" thick. Using a saucer as a pattern, cut dough
  into circles. Place 1/4 cup mashed dried fruit on one side of each
  circle of dough. Moisten edges of dough with water. Fold over, press
  edges together, and crimp with tines of a fork. Prick tops to allow
  for escape of steam. Fry in hot shortening in heavy skillet or on a
  griddle, turning to brown both sides, and adding additional
  shortening as needed.
