In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and milk. Stir to mix well. The mixture should resemble pancake batter: minor lumps are no big deal. Carefully dip the Oreos one at a time into the batter. Fry for 3 minutes in the deep fryer or 2 minutes per side in a skillet or dutch oven. Set on the paper towel-lined baking sheet when they are golden brown. Work in batches until all of the cookies have been
fried. Dust the top with powdered sugar and add the sprinkles. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until needed (up to 24 hours). You can keep them in the fridge for a day or two. If you want to eat them later, you can reheat them in the oven or microwave, or just eat them cold (delicious). This recipe does not freeze well. 🔍 FAQsWhat kind of oil should I use? There are many different types of oil that can be used for deep frying, but peanut or vegetable oil works best. Canola oil is also a good option. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a lower smoke point and a strong flavor. Can I use flavored Oreos? Definitely! The colored cream ones are fun too. How do I know when the cookies are done? A good rule of thumb is 3 minutes in a deep fryer or 2 minutes per side for a skillet or dutch oven. The cookies should be golden brown on all sides. Should I serve deep-fried Oreos warm or cold? There are extra special when warm, immediately after frying. But I also love them straight out of the fridge! 👩🏻🍳 Expert tips
