The recipe's evolution was gradual, with early versions resembling simple quick breads.

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12-15 Oreo cookies

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 vegeta
- 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.
