Ingredients
Makes 12 fried Oreos
- 12 Oreo cookies (regular, Double Stuf, or flavored) 🍪
- 1 cup pancake mix 🥞
- ¾ cup milk 🥛
- 1 large egg 🥚
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Vegetable oil (for frying, about 2 cups) 🛢️
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Heat the Oil
- In a deep pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Pro Tip: Use a candy thermometer to monitor temperature.
2️⃣ Make the Batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk together:
- Pancake mix
- Milk
- Egg
- Vanilla
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Mix until smooth (should be slightly thick but pourable).
3️⃣ Dip & Coat the Oreos
- Fully submerge each Oreo in the batter, letting excess drip off.
- Tip: Use a fork or skewer for easy handling.
4️⃣ Fry to Golden Perfection
- Carefully lower coated Oreos into hot oil (don’t overcrowd!).
- Fry 1-2 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5️⃣ Dust & Devour!
- Generously dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
- Serve immediately—best eaten fresh!
Pro Tips for Success
🔥 Maintain Oil Temp – Too hot = burnt outside, too cool = greasy.
🍫 Extra Gooey? Use Double Stuf Oreos for more melty filling.
🍩 Even Coating – Let excess batter drip off before frying.
🍓 Fun Twist – Try with Golden Oreos or seasonal flavors!
Serving Suggestions
🍦 À la Mode – Serve with vanilla ice cream.
🍫 Chocolate Drizzle – Melted chocolate or caramel sauce.
🎉 Party Style – Skewer on sticks for easy fair-style eating.
Storage & Reheating
- Best Fresh – Eat right away for maximum crispiness.
- Reheat Option – Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 mins to re-crisp.
Final Thoughts
These Deep-Fried Oreos are crispy, sweet, and dangerously addictive—just like the carnival version, but homemade and extra fresh! Perfect for parties, movie nights, or satisfying a fair-food craving.
