Fried Oreos are a fun and delicious treat guaranteed to impress a crowd! This indulgent dessert features a crispy golden batter enveloping a chocolatey and creamy Oreo center.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the soy milk, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of oil.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth, pancake-like batter forms. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
In the meantime, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil or canola oil in a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature, aiming for approximately 350-375°F.
Dip each Oreo into the batter, ensuring that it’s fully coated. Carefully add the coated cookies to the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs.
Fry the Oreos in small batches for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried Oreos from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Allow the fried Oreos to cool slightly before serving. Serve them with an optional dusting of powdered sugar for an extra sweet finish.
