Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 20 Oreo cookies
Batter:
- 2 cups pancake mix
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Frying and Topping:
- 2 quarts vegetable oil
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat 2 quarts vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 375°F, ensuring the temperature is precise for perfect frying conditions.
- Whisk 1 large egg, 1 cup milk, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate 2 cups pancake mix, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt into the liquid mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Allow your batter to rest for 5 minutes, which helps it thicken and develop better coating consistency.
- Use a fork to dunk each Oreo cookie completely into the prepared batter, ensuring full and even coverage.
- Gently lower the battered Oreos into the 375°F oil, working in small batches to maintain proper oil temperature.
- Fry each batch for exactly 2 minutes, turning the cookies halfway through to achieve an even golden-brown exterior.
- Extract the fried Oreos using a slotted spoon, transferring them onto paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Sprinkle warm fried Oreos generously with powdered sugar while they’re still hot for maximum sweetness.
- Serve the cookies immediately to enjoy their crispy exterior and soft, melty center.
Notes
- Maintain oil temperature carefully to ensure crispy, golden exterior without burning the cookies.
- Refrigerate Oreos for 15 minutes before battering to help them hold their shape during frying.
- Use pancake mix with extra sugar for a thicker, sweeter coating that creates a more indulgent texture.
- Consider dietary variations like using gluten-free pancake mix or dairy-free milk for alternative versions.
