TOOLS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED:

  • dutch oven or other heavy bottom pot
  • candy thermometer or oil thermometer
  • medium bowl
  • whisk or hand mixer
  • slotted spoon or slotted utensil

PREHEAT THE OIL: In a heavy dutch oven or heavy bottom pot, add 3-4 inches of vegetable oil for frying. It is best to use a candy thermometer to make sure the temperature is what you want. Bring to 375 ºF.

KITCHEN TIP

Make sure you have the oil at the correct 375 ºF temperature before you start frying. If your oil is too cold the oreos will absorb too much oil while cooking and become oily. If the oil is too hot the oreos will burn.

When frying it is important to use an oil with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. Oils with a low smoke point may cause an odd taste in your food.

COMBINE PANCAKE BATTER INGREDIENTS: Add pancake mix, milk, vegetable oil and egg to a mixing bowl.

WHISK PANCAKE BATTER: Whisk until most of the lumps are gone. The mixture should be thick enough to coat your oreo without the batter running off. Add more mix if the batter is too thin. Let batter sit for 5 minutes.

COVER WITH BATTER: Immerse an oreo into the pancake batter with your hands. Coat completely. Allow excess batter to drip off.

KITCHEN TIP

FUN IDEA: Put your oreos on a stick ( popsicle stick or skewer) to deep fry.

FRY: Carefully put oreo into the hot oil. Flip occasionally with a slotted utensil to get an even deep golden brown on both sides of the oreo.

KITCHEN TIP

You should be able to fry multiple oreos at once, depending on the size of your pot. If they’re too overcrowded in your pot they might stick together.

REMOVE FROM OIL: Remove golden oreo from the oil. Place on a wire rack covered in paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the rest of the oreos.

COOL: Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve.

KITCHEN TIP

OPTIONAL: Dust your deep fried oreos with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long can you store deep fried oreos?

Deep fried oreos are best eaten fresh to get the maximum benefit of the crunchy outside. Like all fried foods they are best right out of the fryer and are not ideal for storage. You can of course save them but we do not recommend storing them.

Can you reheat deep fried oreos?

Deep fried oreos are best eaten fresh. We do not recommend reheating them as they would lose their crispiness and texture.

Do oreos have to be frozen before frying?

No, oreos do not have to be frozen before frying.
