You've got to try these! Crispy golden outsides and a soft melty center. All from just a handful of simple things plus a bit of powdered sugar. These fried Oreos taste just like the fair but right at home. Seriously—once you start, it's tough to stop.

What Makes Them Awesome

You haven't lived until you bite into a warm deep fried Oreo. The outside crunch with that soft gooey cookie inside is unreal. Folks go wild for these at get-togethers every single time. It's like bringing carnival fun straight to your countertop.

What You’ll Need

  • Main Trick: Pancake mix gives the outside a great crunch.
  • Liquid Help: Milk makes the batter come together well.
  • A Little Richness: Crack in one egg to bind things.
  • The Must-Have: Grab regular or Double Stuf Oreos—whatever you like.

How to Whip These Up

Finish With Flair
Toss them on a paper towel dust them in sugar serve warm and enjoy.
Get That Golden Look
Don't crowd the oil—just a few cookies for 2 minutes per side is perfect.
Time to Dunk
Drop cookies into the batter coat well and let any extra batter drip before frying.
Check Your Oil
Heat up the oil to 375°F—a thermometer helps set it right.
Whip Up Batter
Mix the pancake powder milk and egg together till it's smooth and thick. Add a bit more mix if you want it thicker.

Tricks for Top Results

Fresh oil matters—pick one that can handle high heat. Make sure the oil's not too cool or too hot and don't toss in too many cookies at once. Keep the batter nice and thick so it sticks, and dig in while they're hot and crunchy.

Stash Your Extras

No lie—they're unbeatable right away. Left a few over? Keep them sealed in the fridge up to 3 days. Want that crunch again? Just pop them back in a hot oven for a few.

Tasty Twists to Try

Mess around with different Oreo flavors like mint or peanut butter for a fun spin. Sometimes I swap in flavored pancake mix for a change. Going all out? Add chocolate sauce, ice cream, or a mountain of whipped cream on the side.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why is pancake mix better than just flour?

It already has baking powder and flavors mixed in, so you get fluffy batter and don’t have to worry about extra steps.

→ How do I check if the oil’s hot enough?

Grab a thermometer and keep it near 375°F. If it gets too hot your Oreos will burn, too cool and they’ll soak up oil and get soggy.

→ Can I fry other Oreo flavors?

Yep! Any Oreo works. Double Stuf makes them extra gooey in the middle.

→ Why are my Oreos falling apart in oil?

Make sure every cookie gets a full layer of batter. Keep the oil hot enough and fry a few at a time so they don’t break.

→ How long will these stay good?

They taste best right out of the fryer. If you need to save some, they’ll keep in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the oven to crisp them up a bit.
