Means are provided in the outer shell design for decreasing deep frying time to achieve desired outer shell crispness while avoiding undesirable drying out of the filling. In one embodiment, such means takes the form of a plurality of apertures in the outer shell to facilitate frying oil substantially contacting both the inner and outer surfaces of the outer shell. In an alternate embodiment, spacing means are provided alone or in combination with the apertures providing heat insulation between the inner and outer shells in the former case, and additional space for hot oil in the latter case, both to enance the resultant crispness of the food article upon frying.
