Deep-Fried Oreos

Deep-fried Oreos

I had a request from a pregnant friend of mine asking me to make these deep-friend Oreos. She had them before while vacationing in Maine last summer and told me over and over how much they were to die for. Well, I decided to fulfill that request today and give them a try! It's true, they are to die for! Maybe not the best way to kick off the new year if you are watching your calorie intake, but they're fun to give away. If you want to give them a whirl, here's what you do!

Use either a boxed pancake mix or make your own... I made my own using this recipe:
PANCAKES:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Get your vegetable oil heated up either in a pot or a high sided frying pan. Coat the Oreo cookies in the prepared pancake batter and drop them slowly into the oil, flip them when browned on each side and then take them out and place them on paper towel. When they are cooled, you can dash them with some icing sugar. When they are fresh they will be crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Enjoy!
