Description

Deep-Fried Oreos are a delightful treat where classic Oreo cookies are dipped in a fluffy pancake batter and fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, creating a warm, gooey indulgence perfect for parties or dessert cravings.


Ingredients

For the Batter

  • 2 cups Krusteaz pancake mix (or any pancake mix that requires only water)
  • 1 cup water

For Frying

  • 12 Oreos
  • Vegetable cooking oil (about 2-3 cups for frying)

Optional Topping

  • Powdered sugar


Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: In a medium-sized pot, pour vegetable oil so it fills about one-third the height of the pot. Heat the oil on medium-high heat and monitor until it reaches 375°F, the optimal temperature for frying.
  2. Prepare the Batter: While the oil heats, combine 2 cups of pancake mix and 1 cup of water in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth, thick, and free of lumps, ensuring proper coating for the Oreos.
  3. Coat the Oreos: Once the oil temperature is reached, dip 1 to 2 Oreos at a time into the batter, fully coating both sides to create an even layer around the cookies.
  4. Fry the Oreos: Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully place each batter-coated Oreo into the hot oil. Fry until they turn golden brown, about 1 minute per side, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  5. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried Oreos with a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This allows the excess oil to drain and keeps them crisp.
  6. Repeat: Continue the process of dipping, frying, and draining until all Oreos have been cooked.
  7. Serve: Arrange the fried Oreos on a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature is steady at 375°F to prevent greasy or undercooked oreos.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot while frying; fry in small batches for even cooking.
  • Use a thermometer for accurate oil temperature measurement.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy exterior and warm melted center.
