Life is Sweet...Eat the Cake: Fair Food Part I: Fried Oreos

Fair food is a passion for some. So much so that I thought I might even call up the executives at Food Network and pitch the idea of a new show - a spoof of sorts off of "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." We'll call our show "Fairs, Festivals and Everything Fried." I guess I might be one of those Fair Food People (a full-fledged member of the FFPA - Fair Food People Anonymous.) We even have a running joke with our friend, Keith Tyler - a pipe dream that could any day turn into a reality because Keith is all about a venture. Among other get rich quick schemes - we'd buy an ice cream truck and sell ice cream, of course, but more than that - funnel cakes and fried oreos! Keith found a few trucks on eBay and now we are just trying to work out the logistics - who will drive and when. We have found it difficult to work out the driving schedule - we've all been quite busy getting kicked out of various Mexican restaurants in the Southeast. Once our schedules calm down a bit - you'll be seeing us around your neighborhood! We will be easy to recognize because we'll have our anthem "Chicken Fried" blaring over the speakers instead of the overly-used nursery rhyme songs you would typically hear from an ice cream truck. Come and get it!

Fried Oreos a la Ice Cream Truck
I recommend doing this at home before you take it on the road.

Ingredients:
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
2 large eggs
1 cup milk (maybe a bit more to thin out)
2 cups Bisquick
1 tsp vanilla
1 (18 ounce) package Oreo cookies
Confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)

Directions:
Heat oil in deep-fryer or stock pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the pancake mix until no dry lumps remain.

Dip the cookies into the batter one at a time...
