Choose Deep Fried Oreo for the most outlandish dessert. Nothing is simpler than making this State Fair favourite with only 5 ingredients and powdered sugar for dusting. Ingredient secret? Pancake mix.
Los Angeles-based Armenian Charlie Boghosian created it. He was 16 but already known as “The Man Who Fries Everything.” He introduced Deep Fried Oreo at the 2001 LA County Fair, and the world has never looked back. See my post for other tasty State Fair snacks.
We don’t know how Charlie prepared his deep-fried Oreo, but ours use dry pancake mix. Imagine Bisquick or another all-purpose baking mix. Beyond that, milk, eggs, and Oreo suffice. If possible, use Double Stuf Oreo, which worked best in our recipe testing. I mention “recipe testing” with a smile because this recipe cannot be considered “work!”

Ingredient And Equipment Notes
- A reliable digital thermometer can help you fry or cook more accurately. For Deep Fried Oreo, aim for 375 degrees.
- This recipe works well with normal or Double Stuf Oreo. I like Double Stuff for more stuffing.
- For frying, use neutral, high-smoke-point oils like vegetable, canola, or avocado.
- Avoid overloading the skillet with Oreo, which cools the oil and makes them oil-saturated and slower to cook. Slow down and allow the hot oil return to 375 between batches.
Instructions in steps
- Cover a plate or baking sheet with paper towels. Whisk milk, egg, and pancake mix in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of pancake mix at a time to thicken if runny.
- Heat oil to 375 degrees in a Dutch oven, deep pot, or deep fryer over medium-high heat. In batches of 4–6 Oreos, dip them in batter and let the excess drop back into the basin.
- Fry one side till golden brown, 1–2 minutes. Flip and fry each cookie until golden brown on side two.
