Ingredients
Scale
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 cup strawberry jam or preserves (or raspberry or apricot for a twist)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for a decorative garnish)
- Neutral oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Fresh strawberries (for garnish)
- Optional: Use gluten-free wonton wrappers for a gluten-sensitive variation
Instructions
- Heat a few inches of neutral oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Place a spoonful of strawberry jam (or your chosen preserve) in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Lightly wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water and fold it into a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly.
- Carefully lower the wontons into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the wontons from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Once slightly cooled, dust the wontons with powdered sugar if desired for a decorative touch.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute the strawberry jam with raspberry or apricot preserves for a different twist.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to get a crispy texture without sogginess.
- For a gluten-free version, make sure to use gluten-free wonton wrappers.
