Description
Golden, pillowy battered Oreos fried until crisp on the outside and warm and gooey inside, dusted with powdered sugar for a nostalgic carnival-style treat.
Ingredients
- Oreos: 20 cookies
- Pancake Mix: 1 cup
- Milk: 3/4 cup
- Egg: 1 large
- Vegetable Oil: 4 cups (for frying)
- Powdered Sugar: 2 tablespoons (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup pancake mix, 3/4 cup milk, and 1 large egg until smooth and lump-free.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Line a plate with paper towels for draining and keep a slotted spoon or tongs nearby.
- Assemble the Dish: Dip each Oreo into the batter, coating completely so it is evenly covered.
- Cook to Perfection: Fry 3 to 4 battered Oreos at a time for about 2 to 3 minutes, turning if needed, until they are golden brown and puffed.
- Finishing Touches: Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust immediately with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Chill the Oreos briefly before dipping to help the filling stay intact during frying.
- Keep oil temperature steady around 350°F to avoid greasy or undercooked results.
- Fry in small batches so the oil temperature does not drop.
- Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes to restore crispness.
