Ingredients
- 1 package of Oreos
- 1 cup red velvet cake mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by setting out a large mixing bowl, whisk, and a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot.
- In the mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, with a vibrant red color and consistent texture.
- Heat vegetable or canola oil in the frying pan to 375°F (190°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to ensure accurate temperature for optimal frying.
- Open the Oreo package and have them ready nearby. Using tongs, carefully dip each Oreo cookie into the red velvet batter, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Gently lower the batter-coated Oreo into the hot oil, frying for approximately 2-3 minutes or until the exterior turns golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried Oreos using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
- Once slightly cooled, dust the fried Oreos generously with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sifter.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Use a deep-fry thermometer to maintain the oil at exactly 375°F. This ensures a crispy exterior and prevents soggy or burnt cookies.
- Batter Consistency Matters: Whisk your batter thoroughly to eliminate lumps. A smooth batter creates an even, beautiful coating on the Oreos.
- Frying in Batches: Don't overcrowd the pan. Fry 3-4 Oreos at a time to maintain oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
- Drain Properly: Use a wire rack with paper towels to drain excess oil, keeping your fried Oreos crisp and not greasy.
- Serve Immediately: These are best enjoyed warm, right after dusting with powdered sugar. The contrast between the crispy exterior and the soft Oreo center is most pronounced when fresh.
- Oil Choice: Use vegetable or canola oil with a high smoke point for the best frying results.
- Safety First: Always be cautious when working with hot oil, and use long tongs or a slotted spoon to handle the Oreos.
