MMMMM-------------------------FILLING--------------------------------
      2 c  Sugar
      6 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/2 c  Butter; melted
MMMMM--------------------------DOUGH---------------------------------
      2 c  A-P flour
      1 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Shortening or lard
    1/2 c  Milk; more if needed
           Oil
In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar and cocoa
powder. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture
forms a paste. Set aside while you prepare the dough.
  In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut up the
  shortening with a long-tined fork. Add the milk and stir
  until the dough sticks together. Divide into 10
  portions. Roll each portion out on a floured surface
  into a 5" or 6" circle. 
  Place 2 tablespoons of filling in each. Wet the edges
  and fold over, crimping with a fork. 
  In a large skillet, pour the oil to a depth of 1/4" and
  heat over medium heat. 
  Place the chocolate pies in the hot oil and fry until 
  browned on both sides, turning as needed. Remove to a
  paper towel-lined plate. 
  You can sprinkle powdered sugar on chocolate fried pies
  if you like.
