Ingredients

  • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup pancake mix
  • 1 (18 ounce) package cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo)

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Whisk milk, egg, and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the pancake mix until no dry lumps remain.
