A process for preparing a fried pie in the nature of a microwavable, pre-fried, batter-coated, dough-enrobed foodstuff and the foodstuff produced thereby. In the process, a foodstuff enrobed with dough is provided, as is an aqueous batter slurry formed by mixing an effective amount of water with a farinaceous based batter mix comprising a farinaceous material selected from the group consisting of starch, flour and mixtures thereof. The batter slurry is applied to the dough of the dough-enrobed foodstuff to coat the same, and the batter-coated dough-enrobed foodstuff is partially cooked in hot fat or cooking oil to pre-fry the same. The fried product is characterized by an acceptable level of crispness after freezing, prolonged freezer storage, and finally microwave cooking.
