Preparation

1
Make the batter used for coating the Oreos. In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix with the milk and eggs. Whisk until it becomes a smooth consistency. Using a whisk instead of a wooden spoon or rubber spatula introduces air into the batter for a lighter texture. Set aside once done.
2
Cut out a piece of parchment paper large enough to fit onto the base of the air fryer.
3
Coat one side of the paper with cooking spray. This will help keep it in place in the air fryer.
4
Place the paper into the air fryer base.
5
Close the air fryer and preheat to 360 °F. Follow the appliance instructions for directions on configuring the temperature and timing.

Frying the Oreos

1
Insert a fork through the mid section of an Oreo.
2
Dip the cookie into the batter to coat it.
3
Remove the batter-coated Oreo from the fork and onto the parchment paper inside the air fryer. Repeat this process until you've filled your air fryer with the desired amount of Oreos.
4
Close the air fryer back and cook for about 5-7 minutes. Once they appear light golden brown, take them out and transfer onto a plate.
5
Sift the powdered sugar over the cookies. While holding a kitchen strainer over the plate, spoon a small amount of the sugar into the strainer and lightly tap it against the palm of your free hand. A light dusting of powder will coat the cookies.
6
Wait until the Oreos cool down, and then serve.
