Deep Fried Oreos Recipe

Pancake mix: A versatile base that creates a fluffy and light batter for coating the Oreos.

Water: Used to mix with the pancake mix and create the batter.

Egg: Helps bind the batter together and adds richness.

Oreos: The star of the recipe, providing a delicious and creamy center.

Oil for frying: Essential for deep frying, giving the Oreos their crispy exterior.

When coating the oreos in the batter, make sure to let any excess batter drip off before placing them in the oil. This will help achieve a more even and crisp fry. Additionally, avoid overcrowding the fryer to maintain the oil temperature and ensure each oreo fries evenly.

• pancake mix - Substitute with all-purpose flour and baking powder: Mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder to create a similar texture and rise.

• water - Substitute with milk: Milk adds a richer flavor and a slightly thicker batter.

• egg - Substitute with applesauce: Use ¼ cup of applesauce to replace one egg, which helps bind the ingredients and adds moisture.

• oreos - Substitute with chocolate sandwich cookies: Any brand of chocolate sandwich cookies can be used as a direct replacement.

• oil for frying - Substitute with vegetable shortening: Vegetable shortening can be used for frying and provides a similar frying temperature and texture.

• Allow the deep fried Oreos to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make them soggy.

• Place the cooled deep fried Oreos in an airtight container. Layer them with parchment paper to avoid sticking.

• Store the container in the refrigerator if you plan to consume them within 2-3 days. This keeps them fresh and maintains their texture.

• For longer storage, freeze the deep fried Oreos. Lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid, about 1-2 hours.

• Once frozen, transfer the deep fried Oreos to a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date to keep track of their freshness.

• When ready to enjoy, reheat the deep fried Oreos in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes. This will help restore their crispy exterior.

• Avoid microwaving as it can make the deep fried Oreos rubbery and less enjoyable.

• Serve immediately after reheating for the best taste and texture.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the leftover deep fried Oreos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 5-7 minutes until they are warmed through and slightly crispy.

• Use an air fryer if you have one. Set it to 350°F (175°C) and place the deep fried Oreos in a single layer in the basket. Heat for 3-4 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even reheating.

• For a quick fix, use the microwave. Place the deep fried Oreos on a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave on medium power for 20-30 seconds. Note that this method may make them a bit softer.

• If you prefer a stovetop method, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the deep fried Oreos in the skillet and cover with a lid. Heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are warmed through and slightly crispy.

• Deep fryer: Used to heat the oil to the required temperature of 375°F (190°C) for frying the Oreos.

• Mixing bowl: Used to combine the pancake mix, water, and egg to create a smooth batter.

• Whisk: Helps in stirring the pancake mix, water, and egg until the batter is smooth.

• Tongs: Essential for carefully placing the coated Oreos into the hot oil and removing them once they are golden brown.

• Paper towels: Used to drain the excess oil from the fried Oreos after they are removed from the fryer.

• Measuring cup: Used to measure out the pancake mix and water accurately.

• Thermometer: Ensures the oil reaches and maintains the correct frying temperature of 375°F (190°C).

• Plate: Used to hold the Oreos before and after frying.

• Slotted spoon: An alternative to tongs for removing the fried Oreos from the oil, allowing excess oil to drain back into the fryer.

Prepare the batter ahead: Mix the pancake mix, water, and egg the night before and store it in the fridge. This way, you can quickly dip and fry the Oreos when you're ready.

Use a deep fryer: A deep fryer heats oil more evenly and maintains a consistent temperature, reducing the time needed to fry each Oreo.

Batch frying: Fry multiple Oreos at once, but avoid overcrowding the fryer to ensure even cooking. This speeds up the process without compromising quality.

Preheat oil properly: Make sure the oil is at 375°F (190°C) before you start frying. Properly heated oil cooks Oreos faster and absorbs less oil.
