“How to make Deep Fried Oreos” by Jessie S

                                                                                         

These decadent treats have been famous and present in numerous amounts of county fairs. They have been favorites in the hearts of many people.  Although, this dessert is a bit on the unhealthy side, it is still delicious. These treats have been a thing I can rely on when there is nothing else sweet to eat as dessert. When I first made them, I messed up on the Oreos by some having too much batter coating and by some having too little batter coating. At times, the deep fried Oreos would be in the form of irregular shapes. After a couple of Oreos, I mastered them perfectly. Now, I make them quite often and have loved them from the start. There are many reasons why I keep making them frequently. There are little ingredients needed to make these. And, it takes little time prepare and cook them. Also, it takes little skill because it isn’t hard to make.

Ingredients needed:

- Oreo sandwich cookies (Any type of flavor)

- 1 cup of pancake mix

- 1 egg

- 2/3 cup of milk

- Vegetable oil

- Powdered sugar, ice cream, toppings, sauces (Optional)

Equipment that will be used:

- Large Bowl

- Whisk

- A pot or a deep fryer

- Spatula or cooking tongs

- Mesh colander or strainer (Optional)

Steps:

1) To start off, get your large bowl and pour the cup of pancake mix in it.

2) Next, pour the milk in and crack the egg into the large bowl.

3) Then, pour 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil into the mix. Once all of the ingredients are incorporated all together, mix them with a whisk until it is smooth and has no lumps. The consistency of the batter should be thick, but a bit watery at the same time.

	Here’s a picture of how the batter mix should look like after you combine all the ingredients and mix.

 

4) In the pot or deep fryer, add enough vegetable oil for it to submerge the deep fried Oreos entirely. Also, turn on the stove range or deep fryer on medium heat. 

5) While the stove range or deep fryer is preheating, place your desired choice of Oreo cookies in the mix you created and toss them around. Make sure they are completely coated with the batter.

6) Grab the Oreos and gently place it into the oil using a spatula or cooking tongs. Also, remember to occasionally flip it with the spatula or cooking tongs so it doesn’t get over cooked or burned. The deep fried Oreos are fully done when the batter on it “puffs” up and turn to the color of golden brown. A perfect outcome is when the outside crust is crunchy, but the inside is soft.

7) Add any toppings, chocolate sauce, etc. (Only if you want too). The most popular topping used on deep fried Oreos is powdered sugar. I highly recommend using a mesh colander or strainer when sifting powdered sugar on it. This way your hands will be less sticky and it will be less messy. Also, something that really compliments the deep fried Oreos is eating it with ice cream.

8) Enjoy this delectable and scrumptious dessert! Hope you enjoy!
