Deep Fried Oreos
posted by Scott R. 10/3/2002

I had these at a local county fair and just had to try to make them. They are delicious.You can substitute your favorite dry pancake mix for the Bisquick. They are best when eaten warm. If you are want to try a lighter version, use lowfat milk, canola oil, and reduced fat oreos.

10 minutes (5 min prep, 5 min cooking)
52 cookies

1 (20 ounce) package Oreo cookies
2 cups Bisquick
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
3 teaspoons oil
vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)

Blend Bisquick, eggs, milk, and 3 tsp.of oil until smooth. Preheat your deep fryer to about 375 degrees. (use a thermometer if you wish to deep fry in a pan). Dip the cookies in the batter mixture until totally covered and then place in the hot oil. cookies will float. Keep checking and turn over the cookie when bottom side of oreo is brown. Keep a close watch because it only takes a short time to brown. Remove cookies and eat warm.

DEEP-FRIED CANDY BARS

1 egg
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Chocolate-covered candy bars (Mars, Snickers, Zero, Almond Joy, Twix or Kit Kat)
4 cups oil for frying
Bamboo skewers

Combine egg, milk and vegetable oil in a cup. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well with a whisk.

Cover and chill for a few minutes as you heat the oil. Use a chocolate covered candy bar for best results and make sure that it is chilled. Some bars work better if frozen. After the candy bars are chilled and skewered, remove the batter from the refrigerator.

Heat oil or shortening in a medium skillet to 375 degrees. Dip the chilled candy bar in the batter and gently place into the oil. Cook only until the outside is golden.

Remove and drain on brown paper. Allow to cool for a few minutes because the inside can easily burn your mouth.
