Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) kosher salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter, melted
Frying and Additional Ingredients:
- 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 36 Oreos (1 package, 14.3 ounces / 405 grams)
- Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry base for the batter.
- Pour milk, crack the egg, and add melted butter into the dry ingredients. Stir minimally, allowing a slightly lumpy texture to form. Let the batter relax for 5 minutes to develop consistency.
- Prepare a large pot with vegetable oil, heating to precisely 350°F. Line a separate plate with paper towels to absorb excess oil after frying.
- Immerse each Oreo cookie completely in the prepared batter, using forks to ensure thorough coating. Allow surplus batter to drip off gently before carefully lowering into the hot oil.
- Carefully place 3-4 battered Oreos into the oil simultaneously, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each side for approximately one minute until achieving a rich golden-brown color.
- Extract the fried Oreos using a slotted spoon, transferring them to the paper towel-lined plate to drain and remove excess oil.
- Wait a few minutes for the Oreos to cool slightly, then dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately while warm for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Prevent Batter Clumping: Stir the batter minimally to keep it light and airy, which ensures a crispy, delicate coating around the Oreos.
- Oil Temperature Control: Maintain a consistent 350F for even cooking and to prevent the Oreos from absorbing too much oil or burning.
- Batter Consistency Tip: Let the batter rest for five minutes to allow the flour to hydrate, creating a smoother, more adhesive coating.
- Dietary Modifications: Use gluten-free flour and dairy-free milk for a celiac or lactose-intolerant friendly version of this indulgent treat.
