Step 2: Make the Blueberry Filling
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- Let the mixture cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to release their juices.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the blueberry sauce, stirring continuously.
- Cook for another 2 minutes until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie Bombs
- Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
- Using a round cutter (or a small cup), cut out circles of dough.
- Place a small spoonful of the blueberry filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the edges over and pinch them tightly to seal, forming a small ball. (Make sure there are no openings, or the filling will leak out during frying.)
Step 4: Fry to Golden Perfection
- In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully drop the pie bombs into the hot oil, frying them in small batches.
- Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Coat and Serve
- While the pie bombs are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar (or a cinnamon-sugar mix for extra flavor).
- Let them cool slightly before serving, as the blueberry filling will be hot.
