You're in your own home sweet lady, you don't need to wear gloves. Just like anyone else, washing your hands is what matters. I have loved and admired you forever ❤🙏

I've made these before, using refrigerated biscuits, and have made both sweet and savory pies. They are indeed very delicious! I once worked with a lady who had grown up in the hills of Arkansas and she told me about her mother making these using her own biscuit dough recipe, and to fill the little pies she made a mixture of cocoa, sugar, and butter. They were sealed up and then fried in shortening in her old cast iron chicken fryer. She remembered her mother standing at the old wood burning stove making these little pies and how good they tasted fresh from the fryer. There were 13 children in the family and these made a cheap breakfast to feed all those hungry mouths. I loved her stories about her early life and how creative her mom was in feeding all those kids. These videos are such a treat Paula, and they always brighten my day. You are a treasure!

Finding this video makes me so happy. YOU, Paula, you make me so happy. Happy and calmed and comforted. I have been a fan of yours since I watched your first BEST DISHES episode. Watching your show then helped me just like watching this video is helping me now. I'm a small town Tennessee boy who moved to Chicago years ago and have grown more and more homesick for the South with each passing year. Finding your Food Network show was such a blessing to me. Watching you cook, learning from you, and laughing with you on that program was like being home again, watching, learning from and laughing with my mama. You brought my mama's kitchen into my Chicago apartment in every episode and helped me feel less alone up here. I can't thank you enough for that. And tremendous thanks for doing these quarantine cooking videos. They mean so much so to many of us, more of us than you may even know. Your recipes are the best (every potluck I attend or dinner party I throw is a huge success because it all comes from one of your cookbooks), your personality and humor keep us smiling and laughing, but your greatest gift is your ability to simply be you, to be present and open enough to allow all your kindness, your compassion for others and your generosity to shine. Thank you for, once again, making life better, brighter and happier for this Tennessee boy. Much love to you. P.S. I'm flying back to Knoxville this week and hopefully, your restaurant in Pigeon Forge will be reopened in some capacity. I need some family style Paula Deen fried chicken, collard greens and gooey butter cakes in a bad way! :-)

Shoutin' it from the rooftops...PLEASE continue doing these videos every day, even after the quarantine is lifted. We need and miss you, Miss Paula!!! I look forward to these videos every day!!! You bring me so much joy!!! :-)

I have always been a True Fan of yours. You are a genuine southern Queen!! You have a Nurturing Spirit and these videos are sure needed in this time. This is the 2nd time you've come into our home and hearts when it was needed the most during 911 and now during this Pandemic!!! We need and LOVE your recipes. Stay safe out there Paula and God Bless You....#butterqueen #kitchenqueen #southernqueen

God bless you, Paula! You're saving our sanity with these sweet little cooking shows. Thank you so much for doing this for us! You're a doll and we love you so much!! As far as ideas: We've been in quarantine for 3 weeks and I am all out of fresh veggies and fruit with no way to go get more at the store. So, I'd like to see quarantine recipes that use canned and/or frozen items. Also, we need comfort food recipes - maybe some casseroles - you pick. We'll love whatever you decide to cook for us. Much love from Atlanta!!

You don’t need gloves . Your in your own home . It takes the fun out of us using our hands 🙏🥰

Hey Mrs Paula!! I Love you and so glad I found you again!! I call your Cookbook my Cookbook Bible. I’ve made so many of your recipes. I always make a Paula Dean dish to EVERY covered dish I need to take one. I get so many compliments on the food I cook from your recipes. My family has favorites and ask for them all the time of course I oblige them and make it because I am a true southern mother/cook 100% born and raised in Georgia Southern runs in my blood. Best place in the world to live never meet nicer people in the United States. You just can’t be that southern hospitality, accent and of course our wonderful delicious southern homemade 100% love going in to every dish we make. Our families love and look forward to having these delicious dessert/entrées/appetizers made for them. I just wanted to take this time to truly thank you for bringing true Southern cooking the south has to offer . I love you Paula Dean❤️

My grandpa always said he has two kinds of favorite pies “hot” & “cold” lol, I’d have to agree, there’s no pie I wouldn’t eat.

Oh, Paula! I was so happy to see you again! It was like a hug. Those pies looked so good. My mom and I never missed your shows... not one! I lost her three years ago, but you brought her so much joy! It was good to see your Aunt Peggy, too!

Paula, my wife and i love you. Those people did you dirty. We watched you all the time. I just wanted to let you know that people love you. Take care and God bless you.

I'M ENJOYING WATCHING YOU COOK AGAIN. REMINDS ME OF THE GOOD OLE DAY'S...MINUS THE GLOVES ...THAT'S JUST NOT MY PAULA COOKING..STAY SAFE HAVE GREAT DAY & THANKS FOR COOKING FOR US....LOVING IT...

I am so happy that you are on here showing us how to cook things. I have missed your shows on tv! No matter where I was, I'd stop what I was doing to watch when you came on. These videos are such a blessing at a time like this. Thank you for sharing your home and your recipes with us!

If you don't have an air fryer, put the pies on a rack over a sheet pan (line with foil or parchment for easy cleanup) and bake in the oven. Use the convection setting if you have it. I don't have puff pastry or canned biscuits on hand but I could make a pie crust dough to use.

The Past is the past! You are always going to be one of my all time favorite cooks!! I love you Ms. Paula!!!!!😘

My great grandmother ( who live to be 104) she made the best fried pies!! My favorite was apricot! But she used lard..so i will try this way!! Thank you!! 💜🙏

I really enjoy watching your informal you tube "Quarantine Cooking" episodes! Crazy times for sure, but you bring it back home, and keep it simple and real. My husband and I just visited your Family Kitchen in Myrtle Beach the first week of March, and loved everything about it. We were visiting from Canada and I had that on my bucket list! We had been in Savannah in 2008, but never got into The Lady unfortunately. You are right when you say, that "this too shall pass". Stay safe, and thank you for entertaining us during these times when the world is upside down. ~~Mavis~~

She is hilarious . I can stay home all day watching her. I love her accent 😂😂😂

Oh I've been seein' your videos on fb about givin' away air fryers. You have such a sweet heart Miss Paula! I'm Rachel Anne on there and I've entered to win a couple times. I would love to be able to cook in an air fryer when my daughters are finally able to come see me. They've become quite the excellent young cooks at 24 and 20. I started them watchin' you when they were little, and wouldn't it be somethin' to tell them you you gave us an air fryer! I love listening to you talk too, cause your voice sounds like my Momma. She passed 20 years ago this February. My oldest remembers her and we always talk about her when we watch your videos. Thank you for everything you do, Miss Paula. I have learned so much from you, and you're such a great role model for us. Take care and stay safe! Love and blessings from Philly

"I don't know who thought of that "Puff Pastry", but I could KISS HIM ON THE LIPS"!!!! HaHa!!!! I just LOVE YOU Paula!!!!

Thank you so much for these videos, please keep them coming. There is something so comforting about watching you cook in your kitchen!

“I’m just a housewife trying to chase a clock”

Back in 1957 I moved to Texas with my parents and we went to a little restaurant in our neighborhood. They sold fried pies for dessert. While we ate our meal we tried to figure out how they would put a slice of pie into the deep fryer without it breaking all apart. So naturally we had to try them...apple ones...when the man came out with them Mom says oh they are turnovers...We had a big laugh over that. Also told the man we were from Canada and couldn't figure out how he was going to fry slices of pie. He got a big laugh too and didn't charge us for our very first Texas fried pies. Glad to see you back Paula. Have a Blessed day.

I'm so happy to see her again. Bless her heart, I love her!!

Hi, love the cooking video's. You're not a lunch lady serving food to school children, you're cooking. Throw the gloves in the trash and cook!!!!

Request: Grilled Cheese any kind of way

My grandmother used canned biscuits for fried pies and chicken dumplings. She made apple, peach, raisin, and apricot. She made the filling out of dried fruit. I do the same. Her chicken and dumplings were the best ever. On Sunday after church we would go to Ma and Pa, the whole family, eat Sunday dinner. She would have 2 meats, 3 or 4 vegetables and 3 desserts. She made a 7 layer Coconut Cake. It would have to soak for 3 days. I miss Mom, Dad, my sister, Ma and Pa I am so happy to see you on You Tube. I love you. I would love to go to your restaurant in Pigeon Forge, but it's just me and I feel out of place eating in a resturant alone. I usually get take out. I don't know if your resturant offers take out. I just saw an aerial view of Pigeon Forge it is surreal. No cars anywhere. None on the road , in the parking lots at the hotels. I have never seen anything like it. I have lived here all my life. I live in the county and have no stay at orders. I go to work driving a taxi at the airport. We are considered essential at the airport. Sitting all day long and not getting a trip is just depressing but I believe everything will come back roaring to life because everyone is getting cabin fever. Love ya much 3

Ms.Paula i love Ur southern accent,im from Brooklyn NY and i never hear that until i watch U .. Love it .. lolol

You don't need those gloves anyway! All they do is cross contaminate everything, good old washing the hands is way better!!

Paula. So good to see her again!! Thank you, KZfaq! She looked absolutely fantastic!

My grandmother too! Her name was Honey, born in 1900 & she was not a baker! But using these biscuits back in the 60’s, she would peel the layers into thin ones, dip each slice in melted butter & fry in a skillet. Oh my goodness they were so good & crispy buttery. Never made them myself. Peach is my favorite. Had store bought Peach 🍑 Turnovers last night & they were nothing like back in the day. There was NO filling but just a smear of peach jam & of course no packet of "icing." Good to see you again!

Thank you so much for sharing Miss Paula!! I love watching and listening to you and trying your recipes!! I got a chance 2 years to come to Georgia. My daughter lives in Statesboro. We got there by plane so we came into Savannah, where my daughter picked us up and took us to her house in Statesboro. But later that week she took us back to Savannah to site see a bit. We were going down this one street and my daughter said " mom, look up there". There was a sign and it said "lady and sons". E got a chance to slow down in front of it but didn't get a chance to really look in very good.I wish we could have gotten a chance to go in, but we didn't have a whole lot of time or money for much splurging. Sissy knew I really wanted to see you and your restaurant. So I at least got to see your restaurant. Savannah was beautiful even though that hurricane had been through there just days before. Tibee Island was closed til the day before we came home. But we did get to go out there. Thank you for coming to KZfaq!! God bless you and your family

Stay safe Paula. Keep the videos coming. Makes me feel like I’m at home again.

This looks absolutely scrumptious!!! Please could you make a savoury pie? I am really enjoying these videos, thank you Paula x

I just adore you!!! I have watched you for maaaany years and you are just as wonderfu now as you were then. I"m so glad to see you here on KZfaq!!

This country ever begins to heal itself. You have my vote for a Southern Ambassador

Now you’ve gone and done it , you know this is going to be so hard to stay away from 😋🤤. Thank you so much sweet lady for your thoughtfulness in sharing and giving of yourself. God bless you and your sweet family and all the sweet people that make sure everything is going well 😘......🙏💞😊

I've already commented but just want to agree with all these viewers... it's SO good to watch you again and I love seeing your beautiful kitchen and outdoor kitchen !! Love you !!💖

If you have fresh blueberries, add some of them to the canned BB pie filling, because that BB filling is mostly all thickening , and very few actual blueberries. It used to be a good product years ago, but the Duncan Hines company has cheapened it. My mother used to buy their Spice Cake mix and the Gingerbread mix back during the 2nd World War...probably about 1942/1944. She made me sit at the table and watch her make it...Then it became my job at age eight, and she didn't have an electric mixer...just a big brown bowl, and big spoon. And, I had wimpy little girl eight year old arms. I was so short I had to kneel an a kitchen chair to be tall enough to beat the batter. Mama didn't have time to cook because she worked at the Bomber Plant making the B-52 Bomber planes during the war. All that happened about 78 years ago...I can't believe I'm mid eighties in today's life, but I am. Boy!!! have I seen so many changes in this world, both good and bad, especially in cooking. Back then, the steak was floured, salted, peppered, then pounded with the edge of a heavy saucer until the steak absorbed all the seasoned flour. Then I fried in Mama's big old black cast iron frying pan until it was so tender you could cut it with a fork. Mashed potatoes, Pet Milk and flour gravy made from all those steak fryings left on the bottom of the pan was so good. The vegetable was Del Monte green beans cooked with a fresh chunked up tomato and a chunk of slivered onion...all cooked for at least a half hour. Yup...those were the days...gone but not forgotten. I'm wondering...Do you ever do meals for one person? I'd like to see your recipes or ideas for a couple of them. I don't eat meat anymore. Enjoy your cooking while you still can. Thank you for being you all these years.

I just took out my puff pastry from the freezer so I can make them in the morning, I have Raspberry pie filling, yummy! Thanks Paula for your great quarantine ideas! My family will love them for breakfast! Best dishes to you!

I love you Paula! I remember reading your book, and feeling like we were similar with the loss of our Mama's. I love to watch you because you put me in mind of my precious Mama in heaven. Love that you are doing these videos.

More more more I’m obsessed with these videos. How about homemade pizza dough? Everyone bought up all the yeast and flour might as well make em use it. Or homemade bread good for people to learn how to proof dough and it’s easy just have a splash and wait

We made these with the puff pastry, brushed the top with melted butter and after cooking, spread a confectionary sugar glaze. And our 5 year old grandson had fun rolling the crust! Thanks Paula Dean!

My Grams used to make fried pies. She stewed dried apricots for filling or made a chocolate filling, folded and pressed with a fork then deep fried....sooo good!!

Your clean hand are actually safer than the gloves! Love you, thanks for sharing.

I love that I found you on KZfaq. Been a long time. I wish that you would have shown us how to use the can biscuits to make the pies also.

My grandfather was a baker and he made fried pies at home and every morning he sent my Mom out to sell them. She was only 6 years old. She had to ride the bus too. That was in Little Rock Arkansas around 1930. Love from Iowa.

Paula, thank you all so much for these. I am finding I’m looking so forward to seeing you cook and teach me all your tips!! Thank you ❤️❤️

I absolutely love this lady!!! I would love to see more desserts in the air fryer. I have your XL air fryer and use it all the time. I would love to see more dessert options. God Bless!

Thank you Miss Paula! I love watching you cook anything. Keep those videos coming! You are lovely!

I love watching you cook when you are more natural and homey than polished and perfect. It makes me feel like you could be in my kitchen. Real life is great!

Mrs. Paula, I have a recipe idea.I'm sure people would have the stuff on hand currently.I make a spam(or ham) potato bake.Slice and par boil taders, drain.Slice and fry spam, drain.Make a white sauce with cheese (g+g is the best) nutmeg, s+p.Spray and layer dish.Sauce,tader, spam etc.Than bake covered till taders are cooked through.I know you probably do some version, is why not much detail.Like to add spinach and onions too. Get some veggies in.Is comfortable, yummy and can use what you have.Sounds crazy,but lots of people have bought spam but have never tasted or cooked with it before.They bought it for THIS current event but don't know what to do with it.Is not an everyday food but in the pantry for just this reason and can be a nice meal treat every now and then.Thank You and much love to you and yours.

How about giving us a house and grounds tour. Breaking down into sections. I'd love that. I've seen pictures of your fabulous bathroom. You should adopt me. : )

I love you, lady! Thanks for making these videos for us. When all this is over, your restaurant is on my bucket list! Stay well and be blessed from Lubbock, Tx!❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

I love watching you cook, it’s so comforting. You remind me of my mom and you remind my kids of me😊. Stay safe with your loved ones that are there at home with you.

I love how informal these are. My husband is excited for me to try his dried apple pies like this.

This Fried Blueberry Pies recipe looks so delicious Paula.

Thank you Paula! I have missed you so much, so glad you are back! You are the sweetest most down to earth person I have ever seen. Wishing you the best! Can’t wait for your next videos! Love you ❤️❤️

Guess I will dig my boxes of puff pastry out of the freezer and try these...if this quarantine doesn't end soon hubby and I will not be able to get out the door. What better to do them cook and cook and cook? I always liked your show... life isn't always a bowl of cherries at 80 yrs of age I can say that. God is there thru it all.

Watching you takes me back to my working days when I read and bought your cookbooks. We had so much fun! My girlfriend and I tried to wait in line to neet you in Hagerstown, Maryland, some years ago but, we both are disabled and couldn't stand very long behind the hundreds of people already there. I regret that so much. But, here you are, giving me happy memories! I love you,!

I would love to see a montage of family photos way back when or a couple of them with each video,

You are such a DIAMOND! Quick , easy and looks delicious. I always have puff pastry in the freezer so I’ll definitely have to try it. I have a TON of jams and jellies in the pantry Paula. What can I do them. I have every flavor you can think of from fig to dewberry.

Seeing you again just made my heart so light. We have been making some of our backup pantry meals: Tuna Salad, Mackerel Patties, even some BBQ fried Spam. Sure have been glad that my Mama taught me to have some canned meats set back for "Just In Case" times.

The greatest find on KZfaq. Paula Deen and simple cooking. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! So glad you're back. Hope you continue after the quarantine.

God bless you Paula. I know things are gonna be ok when I see you. You had me at pie.

Looks so Yummy! Love a bunch Paula. Take care and Thank you very much for sharing and many blessings 😊🤗❤

Love you Ms. Paula!!!!! You are one of the ones who inspired me to start cooking as a hobby! Keep making KZfaq videos if you can because the world needs more Paula Deen!!!!!

Absolutely loved this so much! Queen of comfort food. Miss this lovely lady so much.

I love that you call it a “dish rag” because that what I grew up knowing it as!

Hey Sweet Paula🌸 You’re videos have really given me a boost of inspiration to get in my kitchen and start doin some cookin! I’m turning off that fear based news and making some yummy Paula Deen Inspired Yumminess!! I Love You and I pray that you and your precious family & loved ones stay happy and healthy💕😘

I have an air fryer. I just cooked some coconut shrimp in it night before last. It was so good. I have made fried pies in it too and they turned out so good. I also cooked chicken stripe, okra, steaks, and other things. It saves on the calories and so much healthier. Thank you so much for your videos. I enjoy them so much. Have a blessed week.

love to see you in the kitchen again! Your stories and cooking remind me of my childhood and my family. Love ya, Paula!

PAULA ! BUTTER QUEEN. 💖 I used to watch you all the time when I was young. It's so good to see you again. 💕

Made your pound cake. Was so moist and good! Thank you! Glad to see you cooking again! God bless you!

I bet you can even use chocolate pudding filling in those!!! What a yummy treat!!!

My Grandmother would make these little apple turn overs that when fried ( IN LARD!) would get these crispy little bubbles on the out side that would pop and crush when you bit into them, they were the best and I have never to this day seen anything like them. That along with her home made ice was some of my best memories as a kid. Great videos by the way.

Love watching your videos “love and best dishes” 😍😘❤️❤️

I'm gonna use part of my stimulus check to get my Paula Deen air fryer....I can't wait! I just LOVE you..... you've made my day, please come back and do as many as you can🥰I'll watch every second!

Love these. Keeps a smile on our face in hard times. Going to use this recipe for sure. And all the variations.

Ok. So now a Paula Deen air fryer is going on my Christmas list! 😀 My mouth is watering! 😆😋 Thank you, Miss Paula!

I prefer the videos without Theresa talking over you. 👌🏼

Hi Paula! I have a question. I have made your gooey butter cakes many times. It never comes out with the crispy top, like how you serve in your restaurants. My husband loves how the gooey butter cake has a crispy top at The Lady And Sons. Mine doesn't come out that way, it's soft. Any ideas? I love you and bless you for sharing these videos with us.

Those look so good!! Think we have can biscuits & pie filling so we’ve got to give those a try. Thanks Paula. Could you do some good recipes using Ground Beef, especially a Tater Tot Casserole.

Oil fried is definitely the best, but I don’t need the extra fats either! I tried baking these in the oven after brushing them with an egg wash and mine crisped up really well! 425 oven on a pizza pan that has slits in it so both sides crisped.

If you are cooking for family and friends you do not need gloves.

How 'bout some Gorilla Bread with those canned biscuits? The kids would love that! I love what you said: "it beats Monkey Bread's butt"!

With the puff pastry you can put them in the oven at 375 for about 20-25 minutes and they'll turn out great!

I was raised on Apricot fried pies, also made with biscuits and then pan fried in an iron skillet. I'm definitely going to try them in my air fryer.

How would you make a pecan fried pie!!

You have some of the cutest clothes. Pie looks delicious!

I remember a mushroom canape you made long ago for a date nite with Michael show using mushrooms, mayonnaise, canned fried onions and it was delish. I still make it to this day! It was so easy and good! Thank you from California! Karla

I’m so glad I found you Paula. Love your cooking!! I bought some of your signature light brown nonstick bread pans and the first time I used them they discolored and I had to scrub them to get the black spots off but they still don’t look like they did. Please, could you tell me how to clean them to get them looking new again? Anyone? Please help!!!!!

Paula Deen, you are a national treasure! I have always loved watching you. Thank you for thinking of us at this time of having to be at home. I like to think of it as being snowed in. When I have been snowed in it was kind of a relief. I didn't have to run here, or run there. I could just stay home and enjoy being at home. It's all in the way you look at it, right?

“Booder & awl, ya’ll!”

I love that you have your sweet Aunt with you and on camera. These videos are heart warming. Thank you.💕

Hi Miss Deen! I’m so happy to see that you have a KZfaq channel! I used to watch your show all the time when I was little with my mom and grandma! Now I can watch you here on KZfaq! I’m so happy! Hope you and your family are safe and doing well! Much love! 💖

I guess I’m a dummy . It seems like every thing I try to cook in the fryer comes out dry even my fries. 🤷‍♀️❤️🌈

We hate the gloves. You are in your house in your kitchen....you don't need them. Hell we aren't going to wear them....BTW this is so much fun.

Make smothered chicken in gravy and homemade mashed potatoes. Also, biscuits that you can scoop outta the bowl and flatten in your hand and bake in the oven.

Canned biscuits are such a great tool aren't they!!! You can make so many simple things with them. My boys love to cut them into quarters and toss in pizza sauce & add pizza topping & mozzarella cheese for Bubble Pizza. Thank you for sharing simple things that most of us do have or can get easy access too. Ps Glad you are sharing about the air fryers. So many people are raving about them now & all the uses. My friend cooks hot dogs in hers and they are wonderful.(And I am not a hot dog fan & I like those). Enjoying all your videos. Thank you for sharing.
