Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are unavailable. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before using them in the filling.
What if I don’t have a food processor?
You can make the pastry dough by hand using a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour. It may take a bit longer, but it’s a great way to achieve the desired crumbly texture.
How can I make the bombs gluten-free?
Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend designed for baking. Ensure that the flour blend contains xanthan gum or add ½ teaspoon for better texture.
Can I use other fruits for the filling?
Absolutely! While strawberries are classic, you can experiment with other fruits like blueberries, peaches, or apples for a different flavor profile.
How do I prevent the filling from leaking?
Ensure the edges are tightly sealed and crimped with a fork. You can also brush a little water along the edges before sealing to create a stronger bond.
