Introduction

Deep Fried Oreos are a fun and indulgent treat that turn a classic cookie into a warm, crispy dessert. Perfect for parties or a special snack, these golden treats are surprisingly easy to make at home.

Ingredients

• 20 Oreo cookies
• 1 1/2 cups pancake mix
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 egg
• Oil for frying
• Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to about 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
2. Step 2: While the oil heats, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until well combined.
3. Step 3: Add the pancake mix to the wet ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth with no lumps.
4. Step 4: Dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, fully coating both sides.
5. Step 5: Carefully place the battered Oreos into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Step 6: Remove the fried Oreos with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
7. Step 7: Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm for the best taste.

Tips & Variations

• Use a candy thermometer to maintain the oil temperature at about 365°F for even frying and crispy results.
• Try dipping the Oreos in chocolate sauce or drizzle melted chocolate over the finished treats for extra indulgence.
• If you prefer, substitute the vanilla extract with almond or coconut extract for a different flavor twist.

Storage

Deep Fried Oreos are best enjoyed fresh and warm. If needed, store leftover Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in an oven at 350°F for a few minutes to regain crispness, avoiding the microwave, which can make them soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie?

Yes, any sandwich cookie similar to Oreos works well. Just ensure the cookie is sturdy enough to hold up during frying.

Is it necessary to use pancake mix for the batter?

Pancake mix works well because it provides a light and crispy coating, but you can use a homemade batter made from flour, baking powder, sugar, milk, and egg as an alternative.

Cookies

• 20 Oreo cookies

Batter

• 1 1/2 cups pancake mix
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 egg

For Frying

• Oil (for frying, enough to submerge cookies)
• Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat Oil: Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to about 365°F (185°C), ensuring it is hot enough to fry but not smoking.
2. Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined and smooth.
3. Mix Pancake Batter: Slowly add the pancake mix to the wet ingredients and stir until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
4. Coat Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated on both sides. Allow excess batter to drip off.
5. Fry Oreos: Carefully place the batter-coated Oreos into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until they turn a deep golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried Oreos from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm and serve immediately.

Notes

• Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F to 365°F for best results.
• Use a slotted spoon or wire rack to drain excess oil and keep the Oreos crispy.
• Serve immediately for the best texture; the outer batter is crispiest when warm.
• Can use chocolate or double-stuffed Oreos for variation.
• Be cautious when frying; hot oil can cause burns.
