Thank you so much, Dennis, for your excellent article and recipes. I've been craving nostalgically for the Hostess pies I remember from the 70s, and my wife (an fantastic cook) has recently started making fried pies, so I was so glad to find your site. Your recipe calls for baking the pies. In your experience, what are your thoughts on frying them? What are the benefits of either process, in your opinion.
Thanks again for sharing. I'm going to order a dough press today.
P.s.: your link for the dough press does not work. I found something similar at this site: King Arthur Flour, Turnover - Set of 3 at King Arthur Flour - Kitchen Tools - Kitchen Utensils,$7.95
