Dessert to Die For

[speck tackler]

Saw a new dessert on the menu of my favorite local eatery. I can never pass on the opportunity to try something new (and strange... smile). These are awesome. Went home, found a recipe on the internet and tried it myself, a few nights later... just as good as the ones from the restaurant, and very easy to prepare!!!

DEEP FRIED OREOS

Ingredients
1 cup buttermilk pancake mix
3/4 cup ice water
1 quart vegetable oil
1/2 package of Oreo cookies (14 each)
vanilla ice cream
chocolate syrup

Cooking Directions
Freeze cookies for 3 hours.

In a heavy-gauge 3-quart saucepot heat oil to 350 degrees F. While oil is heating, set up a sheetpan with paper towels for draining.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl stir water into buttermilk pancake mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined (NOTE: You may have to play with this a little. I originally mixed the pancake batter as per the directions, but it was way too thin. The batter needs to be pretty thick, to thoroughly coat the cookies). As soon as batter is smooth, dip each cookie, one at a time, into batter and smooth batter, making a thin coat completely around the cookie. Place coated cookie carefully into hot oil. Repeat for each cookie. Fry on both sides, turning over once until golden brown (just a few seconds).

Remove fried cookie from hot oil with metal tongs and drain on paper towels. Let cool slightly (about 2 minutes) before serving. Place on serving dish with a scoop of ice cream, and drizzle with warm chocolate syrup.

Your arteries may curse you, but your taste buds will be singing your praises!!!
