Feeding the addiction!

You know I've got an Oreo addiction...

Apparently these are carnival fare in some parts of the country. I'm not sure I'll try them but this is certainly interesting. I think it's probably one of those either you love 'em or hate 'em things, don't you? Have any of you had these?

Deep-fried Oreos

2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
1 large egg
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup pancake mix
1 package cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies

Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Whisk together the egg, milk, and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the pancake mix until no dry lumps remain. Dip the cookies into the batter, then carefully place into the hot frying oil. Avoid overcrowding the deep fryer. Cook until the cookies are golden brown, two minutes or so. Drain on a paper towels plate before serving.
