To make deep-fried Oreos, follow these steps: Ingredients:
- Oreo cookies (double-stuffed preferred)
- Pancake mix or a batter made from all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter
- Vegetable oil or canola oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Prepare the batter:
Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt) in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together wet ingredients (egg, milk, vanilla extract, melted butter). Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth but slightly lumpy batter forms
- Heat the oil:
Pour oil into a deep skillet or fryer and heat to about 350°F (175°C)
- Dip the Oreos:
Chill Oreos in the fridge for about 10 minutes to help them hold together during frying. Using a fork, dip each Oreo into the batter, letting excess drip off
- Fry the Oreos:
Carefully place the battered Oreos into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown, flipping halfway through
- Drain and serve:
Remove the Oreos with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels or a cooling rack to drain excess oil. Immediately dust with powdered sugar and serve warm
This method yields warm, crispy-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside deep-fried Oreos, a popular carnival treat you can make at home
