If you’ve ever walked the boardwalk, wandered through a county fair, or spent the day at a carnival, chances are you’ve spotted a plate of warm, golden fried Oreos dusted with powdered sugar. One bite and you’ll understand why this fair food favorite has become so popular. Get ready to learn How to Make Fried Oreos Easily with Pancake Mix.

The best part? You don’t have to wait for summer or your local fair to enjoy them. This easy fried Oreos recipe lets you make that classic carnival treat right in your own kitchen whenever the craving strikes.

One summer, we couldn’t stop talking about the fried Oreos we enjoyed on the boardwalk. They reminded us of chocolate-filled zeppoles with a crispy outside, a soft, fluffy coating, and a warm, melty Oreo cookie tucked inside. They were so good that I knew I had to recreate them at home.

I don’t do a lot of deep frying, but something is just too irresistible and absolutely worth making.

The pancake batter creates a soft, fluffy coating that puffs beautifully while frying and surrounds the cookie just like the fried Oreos you get at fairs and amusement parks.

Add a generous dusting of powdered sugar, and they’re every bit as delicious as the originals.

Instructions

Mix pancake batter according to directions
Have 3 inches of oil hot and ready.
Drop a bit of batter in and see if it drops then floats and bubbles up.
If it’s not hot enough the Fried Oreos will be greasy.
When your oil is hot enough dip each Oreo in batter and then into the oil, flip each Oreo over so they are golden on both sides.
It will only take a couple of minutes until they are cooked.
Strain on a tray with paper towels, then dust with powdered sugar while they are still hot.
