  • Question
    How many fried Oreos does this make?
    Top Answerer
    This recipe makes 18 fried Oreo cookies.
  • Question
    Do I have to freeze the Oreos?
    Community Answer
    No, you don't have to freeze the Oreos. Doing so helps keep them from falling apart, however. It also helps the cream filling from melting and leaking out into the frying oil.
  • Question
    Do I need eggs in order to have fried Oreos?
    Community Answer
    You don't necessarily need the eggs but they help the coating stick much better.
  • Question
    If I save leftover fried Oreos, do they taste the same as making them fresh?
    Lockey
    Community Answer
    Probably not. The leftover fried Oreos will likely have temperature or texture issues.
  • Question
    Can I make my own pancake mix for the fried Oreos?

    Community Answer
    Yes, you may. It potentially could be easier to buy it, because you don't have to spend a lot of time, but it is up to you if you want to make it or buy it.
  • Question
    Can I also use flour to coat the Oreos?
    Top Answerer
    Plain flour would be pretty bland. Your Oreos wouldn't taste nearly as good.
  • Question
    What do I do if the batter won't stay on the Oreo when I put it in the hot oil?
    Community Answer
    Thicker batter sticks to the Oreos better. Just add some more mix (pancake, waffle, etc.,) to thicken the batter.
  • Question
    What else can I use instead of pancake batter to make the fried Oreos?
    Community Answer
    Use funnel cake or waffle mix.
  • Question
    What oil do I add to the pot to fry the Oreos?
    Community Answer
    You can use either vegetable or canola oil.
  • Question
    If I use a pancake mixture that is complete with oil and eggs, will I still need to add oil and eggs to my batter?
    Community Answer
    If the ingredients are packaged with the mix, then no. If it's not combined with the mix yet, then yes.
  • Question
    Do I have to use eggs and oil with pancake mix that doesn't call for it?
    Community Answer
    No, you do not. If the package says to just add water, you are good to go.
  • Question
    Can I make this with a can of milk or just regular milk in a bottle?
    Starlight2468
    Community Answer
    You can make it with either. Just make sure you have the right amount of milk.
  • Question
    Should I sift the pancake mix?
    Top Answerer
    It's not necessary, store-bought pancake mix is usually sifted during the factory process.
  • Question
    Dose the cream have to be removed from the cookie?
    Community Answer
    No, the cream does not have to be removed. You dip the entire cookie into the batter and fry it.
  • Question
    Could I use evaporated milk?
    Top Answerer
    The batter will be sweeter than using normal milk, but it can still work fine to make the fried Oreos.
  • Question
    Could I use complete pancake mix?
    Community Answer
    You could. Your batter might not have the desired consistency, though.
  • Question
    Can I make fried Oreos with a chocolate cake mix?
    Community Answer
    Yes. You can also use waffle mix, funnel cake mix, or you can make your own mix.
  • Question
    Do I have to use milk? Can't I just use water?
    Community Answer
    Adding milk makes the eating experience creamier and richer. By all means, use water if you prefer.
  • Question
    Can I use muffin mix instead of pancake mix?
    Community Answer
    No, I would not use muffin mix. It produces a dryer, thicker batter that's not desirable for fried Oreos.
  • Question
    Can I use olive oil?
    Community Answer
    I don't recommend this. Olive oil has a much lower smoking point, which means you're more likely to burn the Oreos, and the flavor will probably be affected as well.
  • Question
    Can I use store pancake mix?
    Community Answer
    You can use store-bought pancake mix. If you do, just follow the instructions on the box.
  • Question
    Can it be made with Bisquick?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Pretty much any pancake or waffle mix will work, including Bisquick.
  • Question
    Do I need the milk if it is mixed with the pancake batter?
    Community Answer
    You don't need the milk, but pancake batter doesn't usually come with milk unless it is homemade (which is the best way to make these).
  • Question
    Can I use cake mix instead?
    Community Answer
    No, you cannot.
  • Question
    Can I make my own pancake batter for this recipe?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can.
  • Question
    Can I make fried Oreos without milk?
    Alison Marin
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can make fried oreos without milk. Use normal pancake mix with water, but for a better result, use the complete pancake mix, to which you only have to add water. Or, use plant milks.
  • Question
    How long will these last after they are cooked?
    Top Answerer
    3 - 5 days if they're covered and chilled in the fridge. Keep in mind that most fried foods lose a lot of their crunch and flavor the longer they're stored, so it's recommended to eat them right away after they're cooked.
  • Question
    Can I save these overnight and eat them in the morning?
    Top Answerer
    You can, just make sure you cover them and leave them in the fridge. Keep in mind that you'll need to reheat them the next day and that they may lose some of their flavor.
  • Question
    How do I reheat fried Oreos?
    Top Answerer
    You can refry the Oreos for a few seconds, microwave them or heat them up for a few minutes inside an oven.
  • Question
    While I fry, do I keep the burner on or off?
    Community Answer
    When you fry, you have to keep the burner on. But when it come to the second last till the last ones, you can off it because the oil will remain hot enough to finish the batch.
