Ingredients

Scale

Oreos

  • 20 Oreo cookies

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  3. Add pancake mix: Gradually add the pancake mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Coat the Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, making sure it is fully coated on both sides for a thick, even crust.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
