Equipment

Deep Frying Thermometer

Ingredients

12 Oreo Cookies
1 cup Flour
¼ cup Sugar
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 egg yolk
⅔ cup Milk *or milk substitute
oil for frying

Instructions

Add about 3 inches of oil into a saucepan and heat to 375°F. (Use a thermometer to help.)
Add your pancake batter ingredients to a bowl and mix until JUST incorporated. Lumps are okay.
When your oil is hot and ready, use a fork to coat Oreo cookies fully in the batter one at a time and drop each carefully into the hot oil. Separate them if they stick to each other.
*Don't toss all your Oreos into the batter at once. They will get soggy and fall apart before frying.
Fry cookies in batches of 3-5. Don't overcrowd your pan! You are simply looking for the exterior to turn golden brown to tell you when they're ready. (About 30-60 seconds)
Cool fried Oreos on paper towels or a wire rack and sift with powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately.°

Notes

*You can use double or single stuffed Oreos or any flavors you prefer.

*Canola, vegetable or peanut oil is best for frying.

Store your fried Oreos in a Tupperware container. They will get soggy but can be re-crisped in an air fryer or the oven at 375 if needed.
