Deep-fried Oreos feature a crispy golden batter enveloping a chocolatey and creamy center, creating the perfect contrast of textures. Serve them with a dusting of powdered sugar for a crowd-pleasing treat!
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. Happy eating!
Notes
Monitor oil temperature: Use an oil thermometer to ensure the temperature stays between 350-375 degrees F throughout the cooking process.
Fry in batches: Overcrowding can quickly reduce the temperature of the oil. It’s best to fry the cookies in smaller batches rather than all at once.
Drain the oil: Use paper towels to absorb any excess oil, which will prevent the cookies from becoming soggy.
Serve immediately: Enjoy your deep-fried Oreos warm for the best taste and texture.
