Fried oreos are a state fair special. The ones at the Kentucky State Fair are especially good. I know because I have eaten lots of them. :D

Fried oreos are also a fun dinner party dessert because they're so easy to make at home. This might be a bad thing to share with the internets, and I might be contributing to the rise of obesity, but good lord they're good.

As my boyfriend said:
"It's like a pancake and an oreo had a delicious baby!"

He ate six fried oreos. This, my friends, is a man who knows what he's talking about.

Step 1: Ingredients:

IMG_2237.JPG
  • double stuffed oreos (If you're gonna do it might as well go all out!)
  • 1 1/4 cup pancake mix (I used Krusteaz buttermilk)
  • 1 tablespoon canola/veggie oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
You'll also need a pot filled with canola/veg oil heated to 350 F. I used a probe thermometer to make sure my temp was staying where it needed to be! :D

These actually look quite delicious! I didn't think much of them, but that was before I saw them like this...

Just wondering why Instructables makes it less than easy to SHARE such ideas with others.
Yes, there's a 'F' (Facebook) button, but it' not where it's supposed to be.
Why not put it up where folks can actually see and use it?

Instructables is a way of sharing. Facebook isn't a default (and some of us won't get near it).

You have been identified. Don't comment to me/us about this again. It will be taken as harassment otherwise. ;)

ha ha ... ROFL. +1... no, +2, so you can both share...lol

I made these for my family for christmas. At first (before they even tried them), my family found it a gross idea. Luckily, they gathered courage and tried some. They were all eaten in no-time. :D

Thanks for this wonderful recipe!

There's no longer any need to attend a state or county fair. Touché, madame.

One of the best things I've made in a deep fryer. Now if only they were healthier. Haha

In case ya all missed the Fair this year--that would be the Washington Count NY Fair one of the OLDEST continous running Fairs in this country that is!!!!--after you pig out on the Fried Oreos try the Fried Pickles; Mars Bars; PB&J; Twinkies; Reeses Cups; Cheesecake--IS there anything MORE fattening and decadent than FRIED CHEESECAKE?--if there is please do not let me know I already HAVE my last meal planned!!!!

I heard once that you can deep fry pretty much ANYTHING if the INSIDE is FROZEN ie candy bars and cheesecake and the batter is the right thickness and the oil is HOT. The oil "Flash Cooks" the outside so the inside doesn't soak up as much grease as one might think. And then the heat makes the insides gooey but not runny.

I am sure I am forgetting some of the other Fried Goodness' but I think I sustained a little brain damage from the Cheesecake Episode.

Thumbs up for FRIED EVERYTHING!!!!!

I am thinking about putting them on a stick before deep frying them. Easier to clean up, and plus everything tastes better on a stick.

break Oreo's up in your favorite waffle mix ! now that's a yummy breakfast !
jessyratfink (author) says: Dec 9, 2012. 5:57 PM
That does sound excellent. :D Yet another reason to get a waffle iron!

Do you a recipe of pancake batter made from scratch that would work well? Or would you just reccomend that I use my usual from-scratch pancake recipe?

Greetings from Germany ;)
jessyratfink (author) says: Dec 9, 2012. 5:56 PM
I would just use your from scratch recipe with a little less liquid. That should work perfectly. :D

The Oreo's are already baked, if you fry them less nutritious value remains in the little if any they had before...Have fun.

I think I just gained 5 pounds looking at these. Anyway, they look super yummy!

I have recently stocked up on a huge box of oreos........... just need pancake mix now..... :-D

Oh..perfect! Chocolate is my favorite food group!

Jessy, you should visit Scotland, they fry everything there!
Deep fried pizza and deep fried mars bars are famous dishes, probably not good for the figure though.

Damn, that looks so wrong *secretly wishes he had Oreos to do this, but it to lazy to go to the grocery store*
:)

The look soo good: need to fry some up next we have a pot ready to do sourdough donuts! It's also nice that the pancake batter frys so well.
PitStoP says: Dec 5, 2012. 8:10 PM
Looks good Jessy. =) Does the Oreos get soft after frying them?
jessyratfink (author) says: Dec 5, 2012. 9:18 PM
Thanks! :D

And they do - the cookies soften a little bit, and the cream gets gooey. They're so good!
