Back in 1955 our little country church needed to add a couple of Sunday School rooms. The ladies raised the money for the project and the men built the add on. My grandma, Gladys Logan Thompson, gave the ladies her wonderful fried pie recipe. I remember gathering at one of the ladies house every Saturday and playing outside while the ladies made these pies. This is Grandma's recipe.
