Deep Fried Oreo Cookies

Deep fried chocolate bars and just about everything else
have been selling like hot cakes at fairs around the nation recently.
Success depends on the batter, which insulates the fried object
from direct contact with the oil. If the batter is done right,
it will become an edible shell and protect the food inside.
Here is my recipe for deep fried Oreo cookies.

Ingredients:
1 cup buttermilk pancake mix
3/4 cup ice water
1 quart vegetable oil
1 sleeve of Oreo cookies (14 each)
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar

Directions:
Put Oreo ckies in freezer overnight.
In a pot 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 until thoroughly combined.
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.
Remove fried cookie from hot oil
and drain on paper towels.
Dust with confectioners sugar.
Let cool slightly before serving.
