Creating Fried Oreos is simple! Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom with about 2 inches of oil. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
2. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined. Next, add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
3. Coat the Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated on both sides. Let any excess batter drip off before frying.
4. Fry the Oreos: Carefully place the battered Oreos into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 2–3 minutes on each side or until the batter is golden brown.
5. Remove and Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried Oreos from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
6. Dusting: While still warm, dust the fried Oreos with powdered sugar for that classic fair-style finish.
7. Serve Hot: Allow them to cool for a minute and then serve immediately for the best experience.

With these clear instructions, you’ll create perfect Fried Oreos that everyone will rave about!
