Oreos
Batter
- 1 1/2 cups pancake mix
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 egg
Frying
- Oil (for frying, enough to submerge cookies)
Topping
- Powdered sugar (if desired)
- Heat the oil: Pour enough oil into a deep pot or fryer and heat to about 365°F (185°C), ensuring it’s hot enough to crisp the batter quickly without absorbing excess oil.
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Add pancake mix: Gradually add the pancake mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Coat the Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, making sure it is fully coated on both sides for a thick, even crust.
- Fry the cookies: Carefully place the battered Oreos into the hot oil. Fry each side for 1-2 minutes until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Serve warm: Sprinkle deep fried Oreos with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure oil temperature is consistent to avoid greasy or undercooked batter.
- Use a deep pot or fryer and enough oil to fully submerge the cookies for even cooking.
- Serve immediately after frying for optimal crispiness and taste.
- Variations can include using different types of sandwich cookies or adding cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
- Be cautious when frying to avoid burns; use long tongs or a slotted spoon for turning and removing cookies.
