Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 3 cup vegetable oil
  • 36 Oreos 1 (14.3 oz) package
  • powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions

  • Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.
  • Add egg, milk, and melted butter until batter is smooth, but still has a few lumps. Let sit 5 minutes.
  • Heat oil to 350 F in large pot. Line a plate with paper towels.
  • Dip an Oreo into batter and coat completely. Using two forks, pull it out of the batter, allowing excess batter to fall and carefully slide it into the oil. Repeat with 3-4 more Oreos. Do not overcrowd the pot.
  • Let fry for about 1 minute or until golden brown, then flip and continue frying for another minute.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the Oreo from the oil and let drain on lined plate. Let cool for about 2 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!

Notes

Tips and tricks

  • Use a thermometer: A thermometer helps ensure the oil stays at a consistent temperature while you’re frying the Oreos. This will result in the perfect golden-brown color.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: Don’t fry too many Oreos at once since it will lower the oil temperature too much.
  • Use a slotted spoon: A slotted spoon or spider strainer works best for removing the fried Oreos from the oil once they’re cooked.
  • Remove excess oil: Let the Oreos cool on paper towels so the excess oil drains from them before serving. 
  • Serve right away: Serve the Oreos immediately while they're hot for the crispiest texture and best flavor.

What to do with leftovers

For any leftover fried Oreos, follow these storage and reheating instructions:
  • Fridge: Store the leftover Oreos in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat pre-cooked Oreos in the oven for 3-5 minutes at 350F or until warmed through.
