Little Deep-Fried Biscuits

Very simple batter makes the best deep-fried biscuits.
Here's the recipe:
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water -- add additional water to make a batter that easily slips off the spoon
Fry in vegetable oil (about 1/2 inch in skillet at 375 degrees)
These are just as good warmed up in the toaster oven. They also freeze well.
Thanks for watching.

Ms. Phyllis! That's me knocking on the front door with a shovel. I'm ready to eat!!! LOL! :D

[@SparrowStockwell]

Awwww...cute thing to say!

[@EmilyPlein]

Ms. Phyllis, forever the Queen of Southern Cooking ❤️

[@mocha8323]

I love these! My aunt use to make them for us every time we stayed with her. She called them poor-man's doughnuts :) and we ate them with sugar and jam or brown sugar and butter they are awesome!

[@sadiephillips2819]

I miss her so much!! My Mama used to make fry breAd when I was little

[@PhyllisStokes]

Hi Salobrena, I'll have to do a video on just grits. They are a real breakfast staple in the South. I'll try to get a history together on grits while I'm at it. Thanks for commenting and I appreciate your interest in Southern food. Phyllis

[@2mimetime]

I found your video to be hypnotizing. Your voice is awesome. Thanks for the cool vid!

[@ginaven1]

shes pretty awesome lady.

[@sarahjones4220]

Mrs.Phyllis I tried your deep fried biscuits and stewed potatoes today. They were so good. I'm really ashamed to say I ate all of the biscuits but I wanted you to know how good they were. I really love watching you make biscuits. You are a good teacher, everything I have tried is so good. You really have inspired me to cook again. I can't stay away from your channel very long without having with draws. I love your flat bottom measuring spoons. I can't find them. Thanks for filling my days with fun. I actually enjoy cooking again.

[@walkerbait610]

I forgot to comment on these after I made them. I made these for my family about a month ago, my daughter loved them so much. She insisted they be added to my recipe book I am making for her. They were great. Thank you.

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

I am 62 yrs old and I was born & raised in Florida but my Daddy was from South Carolina & he would always use self rising flour & water to fry this bread for us. I still make it to this day & I just love it 😊💝! My children & grandchildren love it too 😊💝!

[@suesheehan1493]

Made these for breakfast this morning. Yummy just with butter. I added some blackberry jam. I so enjoy your videos and many marvelous recipes! Thank you, Phyllis!

[@stephenvinson6474]

from Tx....so many of the things you make remind me of my young days...when my grandmom would cook.. you recipes seem really healthy ...but yet retain the old time flavors and ingredients.

[@3Nails1Cross4Given]

New Orleans beignets (ben-yays) are basically deep fried biscuits with a light fluffy consistency. When I can't get home to NOLA I use non-flaky "Southern Style" Grands biscuits then top them with powdered sugar as soon as they come out of the grease.

[@joannekeryger7909]

...Hello Phyllis, A few years back I was on the phone with my mom in NJ (she's 86 yrs. old) and we were talking recipes. She asked me if I ever made fried bread, and said it was an old recipe that the old timers use to make because the ingredients were so few.. but she couldn't remember the whole recipe. At that time I wasn't connected to the internet, so I had no clue.. and forgot all about it until I saw your thumbnail and thought "Can it be?" lolIt most certainly was.. can't wait to tell my mom.. thank you hun

[@nancyhanks65]

I definitely will try this. They remind me of little donuts when they are frying. Thanks Phyllis for another great idea. This is why I'm so glad I'm a Southerner good food good people like you ....life is good.

[@rodneybrichner4032]

my grandma made these after she would fry chicken in the chicken oil they where so good with fried chicken and some homemade cole slaw

[@SparrowStockwell]

Oh, wow. Yummy.

[@karlaakachuck7612]

*Hi Phyllis, just came back to let you know I have tried this recipe. I am super happy with the way they came out! Some biscuits are turtle shaped (I think I will call them turtle biscuits) lol I sprinkled mine with cinnamon and sugar and they taste super yummy (like "buñuelos or elephant ears) :)*

[@alelmico4]

These sound so good, have to give them a try as I have never heard of fried biscuits....I am enjoying the southern touch to your recipes. I am a born and bred Mainer and the meals you cook I grew up eating and cooking for my family, I call this down home real cooking!

[@RonRay]

Thank you, Phyllis. I just made some of these, using self rising flour (all I had), but left out the salt & baking powder. I'm eating them now and they are good! I'm alternating blackberry jam and orange marmalade on them. :).. My next trial will be your fried flat bread... I think even an old (68 year old) single man who had things cooked for me all my life can make that as well.

[@PhyllisStokes]

You've done well to make things for yourself.

[@lillywiggles8264]

Phyllis your videos are so addicting!! Lol Today was the 1st time I found out about you! Love love love your cooking! Please continue to do these! Your such a sweetheart! Mr Bucky, 😊 the two of you are just so amazing! It's just so good to see us senior citizens showing others, we are still productive people, & we have much to share with the world, including wisdom! 😉😎

[@JOECLARK4]

I've been wanting to leave a comment for a few months now and keep forgetting! Phyllis, these are incredible! my family loved them. I make them like once a month now, they are sooo good! you have great recipes and I've tried about 8 of them and you have not disappointed once. Thank you for making these and making me look like a great cook

[@Irishglen6]

Hi Phyllis, I made the "dreamsicle" orange jello this morning, it was a hugs hit so glad I came across your site people are loving your recipe's so thanks very much, hi to Mr.Bucky!

[@MissizSmith]

This is my first time watching a video of yours and I love you! I love the calmness of your voice. I love how you keep saying they are so so good. Lol. I will definitely keep watch for your videos. Thanks!

[@donnabrown1679]

I too remember Mother fixing these for us and I liked they with jelly on mine but my DD ate them with the honey. Thank you for the memories, Phyllis....

[@sandraconko5258]

My Granddaddy used to make those when I was a little girl back in the 1940's. They were so good. We called them flour bread. They were very poor. My fondest memories are of the Tim I lived with him and my Grandmother. During or right after the war

[@sherrywoyczik3834]

Can't wait to try some of these! Remind me when my Mom used to make Drop Doughnuts.

[@schizoozy]

I had an explosion in my fridge earlier. It was a can of biscuits I had in the door and they don't keep as long there. Anyway, the can popped open and I had to cook them. I remembered your video on fried biscuits. So I poured enough olive oil into my nonstick skillet to cover the bottom and fried the biscuits on med then med-low heat. They were yummy.

[@ramonacooper2283]

I’ve never in my life heard of fried biscuits. Will have to try this recipe. Thank you.

[@davidadausuel4537]

Hi Phillis, love your videos. You are truly old school. I just wanted to tell you that you can use cast iron on your glass top. I have been doing that going on six years without any problems. You just have to remember that your stove is a glass top.

[@tjtampa214]

I enjoy your quiet, relaxed manner. Thx! ❤️

[@melissasnyder4296]

Happened upon this video - thought, humm, sounds good. Got right up & whipped up a batch. These are FUNNEL CAKES!!!! Oh my, there goes my diet. As with all of this lovely lady’s recipes, their so easy to make and DELICIOUS. Of course I rolled them in powdered sugar to complete the funnel cake thingy. Thanks Phyllis- you’re the best!

[@XanderGlamour]

my family is Slavic this is similar to something my grandma always made called ustipci. she put powdered sugar on or sometimes split with cream cheese or jam inside. very good ill try this recipe.

[@srvntlilly]

XanderGlamour My mother used to make those when I was a kid (a long time ago, like 70 years, lol).I'd forgotten about them. We're Slovak and 1/4 Ukranian.

[@SparrowStockwell]

Mmmm...sounds good.

[@patmoses1993]

My sister loves biscuits and I know she’s never had biscuits like these, today is her birthday and I’m thinking what a great addition to a birthday dinner these would make! Thank you for the recipe Phyllis. ❤️🙏

These look delicious! I'm going to try some tomorrow! Thank you for sharing. I enjoy all of your videos. God Bless you both!

[@Tammyjify]

Phyllis, I love this idea! My mother was from the south and I have never heard about doing this. These look delicious and I am making them tonight for me and my husband. Thank you!!!

[@beckyjbarker]

My great grandparents had 18 kids during the depression. She could feed them all with these biscuits and homemade sugar gravy (half sugar half water to a boil). Then she would put butter or peanut butter in a bowl, pour the syrup over it to melt, then the biscuits right in the syrup gravy. It was delicious and only 3 items for the entire breakfast (self rising flour, sugar, water). I now make this breakfast for my 5 kids... it's called cowboy biscuits and gravy!

[@tracyw78]

Thank you for all your videos. Please make a video showing how to make chicken and rice in the same pot. The chicken is cooked with the bones left in and then the rice. Also please make a video showing how to bake BBQ chicken in the oven. Thank You.

[@essemsween818]

Ooh Ms Phyllis I was thinking that those little escaped drops were going to be heavenly, they'd cook in no time and be....but NOooh, you took them out and binned them! Your fried biscuits look fabulous, but please give the escapees a chance to delight you - cook's treat and all that. lol

[@aliyamoon80]

Essem Sween I know, right? Save those little drops and throw them in your salad as croutons!

Two thumbs up. These were good, I made half a batch, had one with peach jam and one with cinnamon sugar, and one with just butter. Great when you want a little something special with the morning coffee. Thanks for the recipe.

Crud, I have to justify making these for just myself. My husband would have loved these

I've been using iron skillets on my glass top stove, for 20 years, and it has never been a problem.

Same here! Just put them on the burner and leave skillet alone and don't mess with it and you won't scratch your surface.

Love your videos....its like being back in my grandma's kitchen with all good smells and good food. Thanks for resurrecting so many of these old classic recipes!

[@Losttoanyreason]

Looks yummy. We fry almost nothing anymore but in the old days we used to fry canned whop biscuits , put cinnamon and sugar on them and called them donuts, LOL. That's what this reminds me of but should be so much better. A little butter and some honey should be great on these. Might have to make a batch of these.

[@gert249]

Wow! I had forgotten Mom used to make us 'donuts' like that. She would cut the biscuits in half with scissors and they would fry up into half-moon shapes. I'm going to make some today for my grandkids.

[@balindabarks785]

Biscuit recipes generally have fat added in the mix, so I expected *double fat* when you said "fried biscuits", but really these may have less fat than regular biscuits with no fat in the mix. I'm trying this! Great recipe!

They look so good I will try them in the morning. Love your show
