Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 package of Oreo cookies
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Deep Fried Oreos
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
- Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot, filling it about 2 inches deep. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it – if it sizzles and rises to the top, it’s ready.
Step 3: Coat the Oreos
- Working in batches, dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
- Carefully drop the coated Oreos into the hot oil, cooking only a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 4: Fry the Oreos
- Fry the Oreos for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to carefully flip them halfway through the cooking process.
- Once cooked, remove the Oreos from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 5: Dust and Serve
- While the Deep Fried Oreos are still warm, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately for the best experience, enjoying them while the center is still gooey and the outside is crispy.
Notes
- Batter Variations: You can experiment with different flavors of pancake mix or add a touch of cocoa powder to the batter for a chocolatey twist.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent treat.
- Storage: These treats are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature and reheat them in an oven to regain some of the crispiness.
