March 4th 2009, Day 123


We went to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City today. Weather was nice, the crowd was interesting to say the least...but we had some deep fried Oreos, and they were AMAZING! I highly recommend you trying them. I have since tried making them at home and have come pretty darn close...here's the recipe I used:

Ingredients
  • 1 cup buttermilk pancake mix
  • 3/4 cup cold water
  • 1 quart vegetable oil (to fry it in)
  • 1 sleeve of Oreo cookies ( I used double stuffed) (14 each)
  • powdered sugar

  • Directions

    1. Freeze cookies for 3 hours.

    2. In a sauce pot (or fryer) heat oil to 350 degrees F.

    3. While oil is heating, set up a plate or cookie sheet with paper towels for draining.

    4. In a medium-sized mixing bowl stir water into buttermilk pancake mix until thoroughly combined. As soon as batter is smooth, dip each cookie, one at a time, into batter and smooth batter, making a thin coat completely around the cookie. Place coated cookie carefully into hot oil. Repeat for each cookie. Fry on both sides, turning over once until golden brown. About 2 minutes total cooking time.

    5. Remove fried cookie from hot oil with metal tongs and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

    6. Let cool slightly (about 2 minutes) before serving.
