Get Ready to Fry!
The frying process is where the magic happens, transforming those humble biscuits into golden, puffy delights. It’s important to have everything prepped and ready to go before you start frying, as things move quickly. Make sure your workspace is clear and you have a safe place to put your fried bombs to cool.
1. Prepare the Biscuits for Filling: Gently separate the Grands “Big” biscuits. Take each biscuit and, using your fingers, carefully flatten it into a disc. You want to aim for a thickness that’s still a little bit puffy but not so thin that it will tear easily. Think of it like making a small, edible pouch. Once flattened, scoop a generous tablespoon of the cherry pie filling onto the center of each biscuit. Be careful not to overfill, as this can make it tricky to seal the biscuit and could lead to leaks during frying.
2. Seal the Cherry Filling: This is a crucial step to ensure your bombs stay intact and the delicious cherry filling doesn’t escape into the hot oil. Carefully bring the edges of the flattened biscuit up and around the cherry filling, pinching them together firmly to create a senon-alcoholic aled ball. Make sure there are no gaps or openings. You want to create a complete seal, much like you would when making dumplings or empanadas. If you’re worried about the seal, you can gently crimp the edges together with a fork for extra security. Place these filled and senon-alcoholic aled biscuit bombs seam-side down on a clean plate or baking sheet. Repeat this process with all your biscuits and remaining cherry filling.
3. Heat the Oil for Frying: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, pour enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of about 2-3 inches. The oil needs to be hot enough to cook the biscuits through and make them golden brown and crispy, but not so hot that they burn on the outside before the inside is cooked. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the oil by carefully dropping a tiny piece of biscuit dough into it. If it sizzles and floats to the surface immediately, the oil is ready. If it browns too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.
4. Fry the Cherry Pie Bombs to Golden Perfection: Carefully, and in batches (do not overcrowd the pot!), lower the senon-alcoholic aled biscuit bombs into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or spider strainer. Fry for about 2-4 minutes per side, or until they are a beautiful golden brown and puffed up. Keep a close eye on them, as they can go from perfectly golden to burnt very quickly. Use your slotted spoon to gently turn them to ensure even cooking and browning on all sides. Once they are golden brown all over, carefully remove them from the oil using your slotted spoon, allowing any excess oil to drip back into the pot. Place the fried cherry pie bombs on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain and cool slightly. This will help keep them crispy.
Whip Up the Luscious Glaze
No dessert is complete without a touch of sweetness, and this simple glaze is the perfect finishing touch for our Cherry Pie Bombs. It adds a beautiful sheen and a delightful extra layer of flavor that beautifully complements the tart cherries and the fried biscuit.
5. Prepare and Drizzle the Glaze: While the fried cherry pie bombs are cooling slightly, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and light corn syrup until smooth and well combined. The corn syrup adds a lovely gloss to the glaze and prevents it from hardening too much, making it perfectly dippable or drizzlable. If the glaze is too thick, add a tiny bit more milk, a teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. Once the glaze is ready and the cherry pie bombs are warm but not hot, generously drizzle the glaze over the tops of the bombs, letting it cascade down the sides. You can also dip the tops of the bombs directly into the glaze for a more generous coating. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these delightful little bursts of cherry pie goodness!
