Can be filled and frozen in advance...bread and fry on a moments notice!
A vanilla cake mix powder is also good for the breading.
Certain fillings should be frozen and cut or scooped before using for greater ease and less mess if making larger batches.
Also you may want to fill them all and have them ready to fry before heating the oil depending on the situation.
Calzoncelli....
It's a chocolate chestnut filling (I now use a Nutella type) or Lemon citrus vanilla...the cake powder breading seems to be my invention. A traditional Calzoncelli would unfortunately not include a cake mix breading.
Biscuit dough is a nifty short cut and this brand and flavor is very good.
Try chocolate pudding mixed with a little Nutella and use chocolate cake mix or brownie mix for the breading. Omg.
Jiff now makes a chocolate hazelnut spread as does Kroger brand.
Let me show you how much fun there is to be had when you let yourself ascend into some of the modern styles:
Your favorite Oreo halved and touched with some pudding or frosting and breaded with Brownie mix. Omg.
Caramel Apple filling with Apple Spice cake mix breading. Omg.
White Chocolate Macadamia Raspberry Cheesecake Filling with Strawberry Cake mix breading. Omg.
Sweetened Condensed Milk and shredded Coconut flake filling breaded with Coconut or chocolate cake mix....paging Almond Joy!
Any fruit cobbler filling with butter cake mix breading.

Key Lime pie, Creme Brulee, Red Velvet....try soon!
