. For crust: sift flour and salt together; cut in the shortening with a pastry
blender or 2 knifes, until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

together. Do not get too moist.
. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles about five inches in

diameter.

. Mix cocoa powder with the sugar. Place 2-3 tablespoons of this mixture
onto one half of the circle and place 3 very thin slices of cold margarine on top.
Fold opposite side over mixture and seal with a fork dipped in flour.
5
. Pour oil to a depth of about 1/2 inch in a heavy skillet. Heat over medium-
high heat until very hot. Place pies in a single layer in oil and fry, turning to brown
each side. An iron skillet works best.
Serve hot, warm, or cold.
