Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup pancake mix (such as Bisquick)
Main Ingredient
- 18 ounce package Oreo cookies
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat about 4 inches of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy to maintain the correct frying temperature.
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil until well combined.
- Mix the batter: Gradually add the pancake mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and thick enough to coat the Oreos without being runny.
- Coat the Oreos: Remove Oreos from the package and use a fork to fully coat each cookie with the prepared pancake batter, ensuring they are evenly covered.
- Fry the Oreos: Carefully drop 2-3 coated Oreos into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown, making sure not to overcrowd the pan to maintain oil temperature.
- Drain excess oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried Oreos and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat frying: Continue frying the remaining Oreos in batches, monitoring and maintaining the oil temperature between batches.
- Serve warm: Serve your Deep Fried Oreos warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation. Enjoy this crunchy, gooey delight fresh from the pan!
Notes
- Maintaining the oil temperature at 350°F is crucial to achieving a crispy exterior without absorbing too much oil.
- You can use any sandwich cookie, but classic Oreos work best for this recipe.
- Serve immediately for best texture; they may lose crispness if left to sit.
- Use caution when frying and handling hot oil to avoid burns.
- For a variation, try serving with ice cream or dipping sauces like chocolate or caramel.
