Not your fair fried Oreo!

I have been craving the one fair treat that had me going mad since the first wonderful bite of my first powdered sugar dusted fried Oreo. These indulgent treats are just plain delicious. I was wondering why I only waited to eat them when the fair came around every July. Last night I couldn't wait any longer, I had two options: Drive town to town in hopes of running into a fair and paying my $5 for 5 fried oreos or simply make a whole batch myself. I obviously chose the second, partly because I have no gas in my car and partly because I have no money in my wallet.

Ingredients

1 Package of Oreo cookies

1 cup or Aunt Jemima pancake mix

1 egg

1 cup of milk

1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

oil for cooking

powdered sugar for dusting

Step 1: Over medium heat, heat about 1/3 cup of oil in a shallow pan.

Step 2: Mix pancake mix, egg, milk, and oil.

Step 3: Dip Oreo cookies into the batter and place into the hot oil.

Step 4: Cook for about a minute on each side. Then roll them in the powdered sugar.

Secret 1: To make sure oil is hot enough. stick a toothpick into the batter, then place the toothpick into the oil and make sure the batter starts to cook immediately.

Secret 2: Keep watch on the oreos! Flip them once them have a light brown color, you do not want to over cook these delicious morsels!

Secret 3: Use paper towels to drain of any excess oil from your fried Oreos. After you have patted the excess oil off you may roll the fried Oreos in powdered sugar.

The Taste

Wow! Crunchy, chocolatey, creamy, pure amazing!!! This is one of the most decadent desserts I can think of. They are sweet and chocolate filled! The Oreo really transforms through the frying process from crunchy to gooey goodness.

I hope I have inspired you to try this fantastic recipe and not go on the hunt from fair after fair to feed your hunger! This recipe is not only delicious but easy and versatile. You can fry almost anything with this batter such as twinkies or even candy bars. Try the mini candies too!
