Рецепт Cherry Turnovers~
Cherry Turnovers~
My sister Jan and my brother Jim share a birthday. They were both born on the same day, February 22nd but they are 7 years apart! Feb.22nd is also George Washington's Birthday. To honor George Washington, and because it is said that he chopped down a cherry tree, my Mom would make my sister a white layer birthday cake with cherries. Between the layers of cake, she put a layer of cool whip, and a layer of canned cherry pie filling. Then she would frost the entire cake with more cool whip and top the cake with cherry pie filling. I still make this cake, exactly as my Mom did. I think she called it; "Cherries on a Cloud" cake. For my brother, she would make a Door County Cherry Pie. To this day, cherry pie with vanilla ice cream is my favorite! My sister-in-law makes my brother a cherry pie every year on his birthday!! This fall they will be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary! That is a lot of pies, Theresa!! Today I am going to make cherry turnovers~ Nice and easy and Oh so good!! Happy Birthday George, Happy Birthday Jan and Happy Birthday Jim:)
- 1 can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8-10 count)
- 1 can cherry pie filling, save any left over filling for another use
- 1/3 can vanilla frosting, save left over frosting for another use.
- 2-3 T half and half or cream
In small bowl combine frosting with half and half or cream. Stir until blended.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly. Set aside.
Separate biscuits; cut each biscuit in half horizontally. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of biscuit dough into a 4-inch circle. Place about 1 tablespoon pie filling onto half of each circle. Fold opposite side of circle up and over filling. Brush edges with a little milk; seal edges with a fork.
Place filled turnovers 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets; brush with half and half.
Bake at 350 for 12-15 mins or until golden brown Remove from baking sheet. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Drizzle with frosting.
Note: I used pink colored vanilla frosting left over from Valentine's Day. Note: Turnovers can also be deep fried in hot oil.
