4 cups of flour
2 cups of margarine or shortening
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon of sugar
a pinch of salt
Combine the flour sugar and salt and add the margarine/shortening little by little. Next combine the egg yolks and work the dough until it is uniform and not sticking to your hands anymore.
Once the filling is added, close the mini pie with dough and brush them with egg yolk so it will turn golden when ready.
Let me know how it turned out -- save one or two for tasting before the throwing starts!

Thank you so much Sister Sylvia.
Perhaps it is the different terminology I have to get used to, but is the flour, bakers flour(self-raising) or plain?
Also, is there any special way in which to prepare the fruits for filling the tiny pies? Does it have to be a "drier" stewed fruit than one placed in a larger pie?
I certainly wouldn't want the bottoms to be all soggy hence asking.
I am also saddened that you will not be at Stonefest this year. As Brother Rubicon said, perhaps next year you can come along and enjoy all the festivities.
YIC,
Sister Phebe.
