Questions

How hot should the oil be for Haggis Bon Bons?

For Haggis Bon Bons, the frying oil is held at 350 F (about 175 C) in step 4. Hotter scorches the outside before the inside cooks, and cooler turns it greasy. The target internal temperature is 165 F (about 75 C), given in step 5. A probe thermometer removes the guesswork.

What can I use instead of panko in Haggis Bon Bons?

Can I make Haggis Bon Bons gluten-free?
