Ingredients

Scale

Oreos

  • Classic Oreo cookies – quantity depends on servings

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Frying and Serving

  • Vegetable oil (for deep frying, about 2 inches deep)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk and vanilla extract. Combine wet and dry ingredients until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.
  2. Heat the Oil: Fill a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer with about two inches of vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C), using a kitchen thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  3. Dip the Oreos: Fully submerge each Oreo in the batter using a fork or skewer, coating evenly on all sides. Shake off excess batter gently to prevent clumping.
  4. Fry the Oreos: Carefully place the coated Oreos into hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  5. Finishing Touches: Once slightly cooled but still warm, dust the Deep Fried Oreos generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately for the best melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Notes

  • Keep oil temperature consistent by not overcrowding the fryer.
  • Use fresh oil for better taste and crispiness.
  • Maintain a slightly thick batter for an even, crunchy coating.
  • Drain Oreos well on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve warm for optimal gooey centers and crispy exterior.
