Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk together flour, egg, and milk in a shallow bowl until smooth with no lumps.

  2. Step 2

    Pat Oreos completely dry with a paper towel before dipping—moisture prevents coating.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a heavy pot to 350°F using a deep-fry thermometer, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Dip each Oreo into batter, coating all sides, then slide into hot oil.

  5. Step 5

    Fry in batches 60–90 seconds per side until deep golden brown, turning once.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer fried Oreos to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.

  7. Step 7

    Dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm and serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need
