Ingredients

  

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 large egg1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 12-15 Oreo cookies
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
• Ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

 

• Prepare the Batter:

  In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well.
• Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while whisking. Mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Preheat Oil:

  In a deep fryer or a large, deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there's enough oil to fully submerge the Oreos.
• Prepare Oreos:

  Take each Oreo and dip it into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork or a skewer to handle the Oreo to avoid getting your fingers messy.
• Fry the Oreos:

  Carefully place the coated Oreos into the hot oil one at a time. Be cautious not to overcrowd the fryer or pot; fry in batches if necessary.

  Fry the Oreos for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. The batter will puff up and create a crispy outer layer.
• Drain and Serve:

  Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the fried Oreos from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
• Serve:

  Once the fried Oreos have cooled slightly, you can dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

  You can also serve them with a scoop of ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or your favorite dessert sauce for an indulgent treat.

Tips:

• Make sure the oil is at the right temperature before frying. If it’s too hot, the Oreos might burn; if it’s too cool, the batter won’t crisp up properly.
• Be careful when handling hot oil. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to place the Oreos in the oil and remove them.
• You can get creative with the batter by adding a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
• It’s important to let the fried Oreos drain on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.

FAQS:

Can I use any type of Oreo cookies?

• Yes, you can use regular Oreo cookies or any flavor variation you like. Double-stuffed Oreos can work well too.
• Can I use a different type of oil for frying.

  Yes, you can use other neutral oils suitable for frying, like canola or vegetable oil. Avoid oils with strong flavors like olive oil.

• How do I know when the oil is hot enough for frying?
  • You can use a kitchen thermometer to check the oil temperature. It should be around 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter in it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it’s ready.
• Can I prepare the batter in advance?
  • It’s best to make the batter right before frying to ensure the texture is just right. If you need to prepare it in advance, you might need to adjust the consistency by adding a bit more milk before using it.
• Can I bake the Oreos instead of frying them?
  • Yes, you can try baking the Oreos at around 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, but keep in mind that the texture won’t be as crispy as when fried.
• Can I freeze the Oreos before frying?
  • Freezing the Oreos for about 15-30 minutes before frying can help the batter set quickly and prevent them from getting too soggy.
• How should I store any leftover fried Oreos?
  • Leftover fried Oreos should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed shortly after frying for optimal texture.
