Ingredients

1 cup water
12 Oreos

vegetable cooking oil
In a medium mixing bowl add the pancake mix and water. Whisk until smooth and there are no visible lumps. It will be thick.
2 cups Krusteaz pancake mix, 1 cup water
Once the oil reaches 375°F, it is time to start dunking and frying!
Add 1 -2 Oreos at a time to the batter and coat on both sides.
12 Oreos
Carefully add each battered cookie it to the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Let it cook until golden brown on each side - about 1 minute per side.
Use the slotted spoon or tongs to remove each fried Oreo from the oil carefully. Place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Let the oil drain from each as you continue dipping & cooking the remaining cookies.
Repeat until all the cookies are coated, fried, & draining on the paper towels.
Plate & dust with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy while warm & fresh.
