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)
- 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.
- Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined and smooth.
- Mix Pancake Batter: Slowly add the pancake mix to the wet ingredients and stir until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Coat Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated on both sides. Allow excess batter to drip off.
- 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.
- 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.
