Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated Grands biscuits
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) peaches, drained
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Liquid and Flavoring Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) milk
- ½ teaspoon pure almond extract
Instructions
- Flatten each biscuit dough into a thin, circular shape using a rolling pin, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
- Carefully strain the peach slices to remove excess liquid.
- Position two to three peach slices onto one half of each dough circle.
- Delicately fold the dough over the peaches, creating a crescent-shaped pocket.
- Firmly crimp the edges with fingertips, then reinforce the seal by pressing with a fork.
- Transfer the assembled pies to a parchment-lined tray and place in the freezer for 15 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F, maintaining a consistent temperature.
- Gently lower four pies into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding.
- Fry each side for 2-3 minutes until achieving a deep golden-brown color, using metal tongs to flip carefully.
- Remove pies and drain on a wire rack positioned over a lined baking sheet to remove excess oil.
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract until creating a smooth, glossy glaze.
- Once pies have slightly cooled, drizzle glaze generously across the surface.
- Serve immediately while warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Freeze pies beforehand to maintain their delicate crescent shape during the frying process.
- Create perfect golden-brown crusts by maintaining consistent oil temperature around 350°F.
- Drizzle homemade almond glaze over warm pies for an irresistible sweet finish that elevates the entire dessert experience.
