How To Make Deep Fried Cookies & Cream Biscuits

It’s so easy to make tasty deep fried cookies & cream biscuits. First, the batter ingredients are mixed in a bowl. Next, the biscuits are dunked into the prepared batter, before being deep fried to golden perfection on the outside with a delicious melting middle.

Step 1: Make The Batter

In a large bowl, add the self raising flour, caster sugar and sea salt. Mix briefly, then add the egg and milk. Whisk until combined, adding a touch more milk if necessary until you have a medium-thick batter. A few lumps are ok.

Step 2: Fry The Biscuits

Heat oil for deep frying to 170C. When the oil is hot, carefully dip your cookies & cream biscuits into the batter and drop carefully into the hot oil. Fry for about 2 minutes, turning once or twice until the deep fried biscuits are golden brown. Remove from the oil with tongs or a slotted spoon, allowing any excess oil to drain off.

Step 3: Serve Deep Fried Cookies & Cream Biscuits

Arrange on a serving plate. Dust generously with icing sugar and serve warm.

Recipe Tips For Deep Fried Cookies & Cream Biscuits

  • Pancakes: The leftover batter mix can be used to make pancakes. Simply heat a dry non stick pan over a medium heat and pour a ladleful of batter into the pan. Cook for around 1 minute, or until bubbles for across the surface. Flip and cook for a further 30-40 seconds, transfer to a serving plate and keep warm with a clean kitchen towel. Repeat the process until all of the pancakes are cooked.
