Do you want to enjoy fried snacks sold on the roadside or a night market at home? Even if you don't have a special deep fryer (deep fryer), making warm golden brown fried Oreos in the kitchen is easy. Remember, be careful when dealing with hot oil.
- Preparation time: 20 minutes
- Cooking time: 8-10 minutes
- Overall time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 250 grams of instant dry pancake flour
- 160 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
- 18 Oreo cookies
- Cooking oil for frying (vegetable oil or canola oil)
- Powdered sugar, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup (optional)
Step
Method 1 of 3: Preparing Cooking Oil
Step 1. Pour 5-7.5 cm of cooking oil into a thick saucepan
The pan should be deep enough so that the sides are at least 10 cm higher than the cooking oil. If you are going to fry in a lot of oil, the oil should be enough to cover the entire fried food but not more than half full.
- For frying, use a vegetable oil with a high smoking point and a little tasteless, such as refined peanut oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, or safflower oil.
- If you don't have a heavy cooking pot, or one with a very heavy and thick bottom, you can use a deep frying pan or frying pan.
Step 2. Heat the oil to 191 degrees Celsius
Use a thermometer to measure the temperature of hot oil or candy dough (fry/candy thermometer), or a sensor thermometer (thermocouple thermometer). All of these thermometers can show temperatures up to 260 degrees Celsius. To check the temperature of the oil, insert a thermometer into the center of the pan. If the thermometer is clamped to the side of the pan, it will be easy to monitor the temperature while frying.
- If you don't have a thermometer, dip a wooden spoon, skewer, or chopsticks into the oil. If oil bubbles appear around the wooden utensil, the oil is hot enough for frying.
- You can also use corn kernels to check the temperature of the oil. The corn kernels will pop in the oil at 178 degrees Celsius, so you'll know when the oil is near the optimal frying temperature.
- If the oil starts to smoke, it's too hot. Carefully remove the skillet from the stove to cool.
Method 2 of 3: Preparing Biscuits
Step 1. Combine instant pancake flour, eggs, milk and cooking oil in a large bowl and stir until smooth
The dough should not be runny, but should be thick and sticky so that it sticks to the biscuits.
- If the dough is too runny, add 62 grams of pancake flour.
- You can replace pancake flour with funnel cake flour or waffle flour. Make sure the flour mixture is thick enough to coat the Oreos.
Step 2. Dip an Oreo into the pancake batter using food tongs or hands, covering it completely with the batter
You shouldn't put the biscuits in the batter for too long because they will get soggy, so dip them one at a time and then put them in the oil. The dough should be thick and sticky enough that the biscuits inside are not visible.
- If dipping biscuits by hand, use only one hand; You can use "dry hands" to start frying the biscuits so you don't have to stop to wash your hands.
- If the biscuits are cracked or cracked, place them in the freezer for 30-60 minutes. This also prevents the cream filling in the center from melting if the biscuits are fried.
Method 3 of 3: Frying Biscuits
Step 1. Put the Oreos wrapped in flour mixture into the hot oil
Frying Oreos is best done in small batches, so fry only 4 or five crackers, depending on the size of the pan. Biscuits should have enough space to float without sticking together and sticking together.
- If you put the biscuits in the oil, the temperature will drop (especially if the Oreos were frozen first). Keep the oil temperature between 121-163 degrees Celsius when frying.
- Frying in large quantities at once will not only make the dough stick together, but will also lower the temperature of the oil to too low and the dough will not be crispy.
- Be careful when cooking with hot oil. Do not toss the biscuits in a pan of oil-this will cause oil splatter and a dangerous situation.
- If you're afraid to use your hands to dip the biscuits in the oil, use tongs.
Step 2. Fry the Oreos until golden brown and crispy, don't forget to flip them with tongs
Biscuits will float to the top of the oil and fry quickly-less than 2 minutes. Do not leave the pan as the biscuits may burn or overcook.
- Keep the biscuits moving while frying so they don't stick together.
- Allow the oil to heat up between frying each batch of biscuits, i.e. return to 191 degrees Celsius. Use tongs or a food strainer to remove any crumbs that are floating on top of the oil.
Step 3. Remove the fried Oreos with food tongs and place them on paper towels to drain
Cooking oil will remain on the outside of the fried dough and will not reach the inside of the dough or biscuits. Absorbing excess oil will make this delicious snack even healthier.
- The oil gives the biscuit a crunchy taste and texture, but don't overdo it and absorb as much oil as possible.
- You can also drain the biscuits on a wire rack, but using absorbent paper towels will remove more oil than allowing the oil to drip onto the wire rack.
Step 4. Serve warm
You can add powdered sugar, vanilla ice cream, chocolate or caramel sauce, whipped cream, or any other topping you like.
Refrigerate the biscuits for a minute or two so you don't overheat when handling them, but eat them while they're still warm! Place the cooked biscuits in the oven on low heat (about 93 degrees Celsius) if you're making large batches so that they stay warm until serving
Step 5. Wait for the oil to cool, then use a funnel to pour it into an empty bottle
You can reuse the oil for frying (be sure to strain it and remove any floating dough crumbs) or take it to a food storage (often a waste management facility).
- Do not throw oil into drains. The oil will clog the pipe.
- If there's no location to recycle cooking oil, make sure the lid on the oil bottle is tightly closed and throw it in the trash or pour the oil over the grass.
- If you want to reuse the oil in the next few weeks, store it in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator to make it last longer.
- If you don't have a funnel, pour the cooled oil into a paper bowl, then pinch the top of the bowl so you can easily pour the oil into the mouth of a bottle or sealable container.
Warning
- Do not use water, flour, or sugar to extinguish a fire that is burning due to hot oil. Use baking soda, a lid, or a damp towel to put out the fire. Don't forget to turn off the stove.
- For children, make sure an adult helps with this work-hot oil is very dangerous and can start a fire quickly or cause serious burns.
