Yield makes 12 turnovers

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (4 ounces) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup fresh or thawed frozen blueberries, drained
2 (9-inch) refrigerated rolled pie crusts
1 large egg, beaten
Vegetable oil, for frying
Special Equipment
A 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the mascarpone cheese, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Stir in the blueberries.
  • Using the cookie cutter, cut the pie crusts into 12 circles. Place the dough circles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of each piece of dough with the egg. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Using the tines of a fork, gently crimp the sealed edges. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375°F. (If you don't have a thermometer, toss in a cube of bread; it will brown in about 3 minutes and, when it does, the oil is ready.) Fry the turnovers, turning once, for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until golden.
  • Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sugar while still hot. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

These turnovers were a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I might try adding a little bit of milk or cream to the dough next time to make it more moist. Overall, I think this is a good recipe, but it could be improved with a f
