Description

These Fried Cookies are a beloved Southern campfire classic that delivers a satisfying crunch on the outside and a soft, biscuit-like texture on the inside. Made with simple pantry staples like flour, baking powder, and salt, this dough comes together quickly without the need for eggs or dairy. The result is a light, airy treat that is perfect for dipping in honey, maple syrup, or sweetened tea. Ideal for outdoor gatherings, cozy evenings by the fire, or as a quick comfort food snack, these fried cookies capture the rustic charm of traditional Southern cooking. They are easy to prepare and fry up golden brown in minutes, making them a delightful addition to any meal or picnic spread.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Gradually add 1.5 to 1.6 cups of water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide the dough into 7-8 pieces, each roughly the size of a lemon.
  5. Pat each piece of dough into a flat round shape, about 7-8 inches in diameter.
  6. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  7. Carefully lower one dough round into the hot oil and fry, turning once, until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
  8. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough.

Note

Serve warm with honey, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or sweetened tea for dipping.

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the dough from becoming greasy.

If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash more water.

These are best eaten immediately while hot and crisp.
