Oh jeez! Why oh why must I torture myself with endless irresistible delights during the Holidays? I mean, stretchy pants just don’t look nice at Christmas parties and Potlucks..lol! Not to mention, by the time New Year’s Eve rolls around it will all have hit..and hit hard. Sorry, but a glittery Moo-Moo won’t get me a kiss at midnight!
Eh..whatever, since the world clearly didn’t end we can celebrate with some naughty treats! And don’t let these little, unassuming cuties fool you! They might be small one bite wonders, but these perfect puffs are jam packed with all the flavor of a giant Snickerdoodle..that’s right! 🙂
Since it’s what’s on the inside that counts, these Cinnamony, puffy pillows are extra special! Why? ..well, they’re filled with thick Pastry Cream a.k.a Vanilla Pudding, just in case you needed even more of a reason to love them! 🙂
What you’ll need for 32 sensational Snickerdoodle Poppers:
1 can of Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits
1 Box of instant Vanilla JELLO
1 1/2 Cups of Cinnamon Sugar
Oil for frying
A flavor injector (usually found by the marinades and bbq sauces) OR a pastry frosting tip will work too!
Directions:
Unroll the biscuits and cut them into fourths. Roll each piece into a ball…
Prepare the instant Vanilla pudding according to the directions and set aside..or feel free to make your own Pastry Cream! 🙂
In a medium pot heat up about 2″ of oil (I used Canola)
Place about 4 balls at a time into the hot (350 degrees) oil and fry until both sides are evenly golden…
Straight from the oil into the Cinnamon, coat the hot Poppers in the Cinnamon Sugar…and coat them goood!
Carefully inject each popper with some of the Vanilla Pudding.
Pile up a gorgeous Snickerdoodle mountain of them…
Eat your way to the top one Popper at a time! ~Enjoy! 🙂
i will do this and also fill some with chocolate pudding,bet we could use the pudding cups we buy
What the? These tiny litte poppers look amazing. They look you can’t stop eating after you had one. They look like I need to have them right now!
If i wanted to bake instead of fry, how long and at what temp do you think?
Hmmm..I bet they’d bake up pretty quick! I’d just keep an eye on them until they reach your desired “done-ness”.then roll ’em, fill ’em and eat ’em! 🙂
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but I cannot get the pudding inside the ball. I’m even using a pastry bag with a pointed filler that’s used to put filling in cupcakes and eclairs. The inside of this ball is solid, unlike eclairs that are hollow inside. What am I doing wrong? Rosetta
Hmm..that’s strange! The only reason I can think of that they would be so hard on the inside is if they were fried for too long! They should be as soft as a doughnut hole, golden on the outside nad tender in the middle! Maybe give them another try?! 🙂
Are you sure you used the FLAKY type biscuit?
Yep! 🙂
How do you inject the pudding? What do you use?
I used a flavor injector, but a pastry tip will work also! 🙂
When you rolled in a ball, did you roll them tight. Just barely roll or don’t roll at all, just shape a little.
Found this by following a link on FB…. These sound YUMOLAH! Will give these a go. I’ve used the same basic biscuit recipe but just dusted them with powdered sugar — taste just like zeppolis – Thanks for sharing 🙂
Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookie of all time. I can’t wait to try these! I also found you from a board on Pinterest. Looking forward to going through your whole site, even though my thighs will rebel 🙂
LOL…SO happy you found me! Hope you and your thighs love everything! 😉
… I could make croquembouche out of this … yummy !
Is there another way to inject them? maybe with a medicine syringe they give you for kids??
YES..another reader suggested a cupcake decorating tip & bag..genius! 🙂
I’ve been asked to bring a yummy dessert for Super Bowl party that kids would enjoy. This and the many variations given sound yummy. Any suggestions on how to transport these? Should I keep them chilled? Or just leave them be? Our trip to the party is over an hour away. Thanks!
In an hour they should be just fine..maybe freshen them up when you get there with a nice dusting of cinnamon sugar! 🙂 ~Hope you love them!
I just made these and am taking them to a party tomorrow…will they be ok in the fridge overnight? Will I need to do anything to them tomorrow before serving?
I’m not sure how they will hold up after a day..if necessary, I’d at least dust them with some fresh cinnamon sugar before serving! ~Enjoy! 🙂
just made these…….they are AMAZING !!!!!!
I MADE THESE AND I HAVE TO MAKE DOUBLE THERE SOOOO GOOD AND I CANT JUST EAT ONE!
Do they need 2 b put n the fridge?
I didn’t have any left, but I’d keep them in the fridge and see how they are. 🙂
yes they do have to be in frige they will go bad on you if you do not t is different then the snack pack ones
I ink it is I do because I do not want to take chaces on getting sick just to be safe my feeling on it
These are wonderful!! So easy to make too. Make sure the oil is hot enough or the insides will be doughy. I use my cake decorating tip to fill them.
I think they would be great with jelly inside. Like jelly donut holes!
Could you use a Bisquick type substitute for the donut rolls? I dont have the biscuts.
Hmm..not sure!
This looks oh so tasty…!!! xxx
Do you have to use the flaky layers biscuits? Or would it still work with normal biscuits?
Normal would be fine! 🙂
Sounds really easy& fast got to try them for the fam!: )
