Deep Fried Oreos are a beloved carnival treat that combines the indulgent flavors of chocolate sandwich cookies with the crispy, airy texture of a fried batter. The slightly crunchy exterior gives way to a warm, gooey center, making them irresistible for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (whole or 2% recommended)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil (for frying, about 4 cups)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Chocolate sauce (optional)
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
In a deep fryer or a large, heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
Take each Oreo cookie and dip it into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Carefully lower the battered Oreos into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once during cooking.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried Oreos from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While still warm, dust the Deep Fried Oreos generously with powdered sugar and serve with chocolate sauce and whipped cream on the side.
