Deep Fried Oreos

[shawnbebout]

I bought a camp chef cookbook and this was the first recipe I tried out of it. I am gonna make it simple. Basically you want some buttermilk pancake batter, a little on the thick side. Heat your oil to about 375. Dip your oreos' in the batter then drop into the oil. Turn over when the batter gets to be a golden brown. Make in small batches 6-8 at a time. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or chocolate syrup. Enjoy with a glass of milk.
They are very filling. I only could eat 4 or 5.

Shawn I will try that as I have a big T-Fal deep fryer that I use in my covered patio (you don't want to use these things inside, trust me!) for oysters, fries, wings, onion rings, etc. I know my girls will love it, and my wife will make funny faces! :eek:

Re: Deep Fried Oreos

Is the Oreo still crunchy on the inside after it has been fried?

Re: Deep Fried Oreos

They are kinda gooey (sp??) but very, very good, with a big glass of milk. Kinda makes me wonder what a deep fried snickers bar would taste like, or a deep fried twinkie. Gotta make sure those 2 are frozen before you cook them though.

Re: Deep Fried Oreos

Shawn, we followed you lead with the recipe...a half-dozen at 375-degrees F in the T-Fal deep-fryer for two minutes...

Can you use those buttermilk pancake batter they sell in the supermarket, or did the cookbook have a recipe for it? I'd love to try these out to make for my nieces (and for myself during my cheat days)

Re: Deep Fried Oreos

Yeah, I used the buttermilk pancake mix that they sell in the markets. I also did a search and came up with this blog posting. It is from Camp Chef, the same people who made the cook book I got the recipe from.

Thanks and be well... Ara and Spirit

Re: Deep Fried Oreos

The mix was awesome! I tried doing the same thing with pop-tarts, and it turned out pretty well too.

Re: Deep Fried Oreos

just read this thread...have to tell you all that here in TEXAS people deep fry anything and everything
imaginable...
there's a guy that sets up a booth at the state fair that will fry all kinds of crazy things including pickles...his stand
has people lined up for blocks around the fair grounds!! It's crazy!! but fun!

Re: Deep Fried Oreos

This sounds horribly nasty and unhealthy...but in a good way. I'm so glad that not everyone is a slave to low-cal, low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-salt, low-sugar, low-taste food....and the idea that we cannot occasionally enjoy something like this.

It's not gonna kill you, unless you eat it every day...so I celebrate your ingenuity!

Life is not worth living, if you can't enjoy things. Moderating is the key. I didn't make the recipe, just found it in a cookbook.
