Instructions
Heat the Oil
Pour vegetable oil into a deep heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature. Do not let the oil overheat.
Make the Batter
In a large bowl whisk together pancake mix milk egg sugar and vanilla extract until a smooth thick batter forms. The batter should coat the back of a spoon. Let it rest for 2 minutes.
Coat the Oreos
Working in batches dip each Oreo cookie fully into the batter using a fork or skewer. Allow excess batter to drip off. Make sure each cookie is fully coated with no gaps.
Fry Until Golden
Carefully lower battered Oreos into the hot oil in batches of 4 to 6. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side until puffed up and deep golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate.
Dust and Serve
While still warm dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately as they are best enjoyed fresh and hot. Pair with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
