Q&A Section
Q: Can I make these in an air fryer?
You can try, but traditional deep-frying gives that iconic crispy texture. If using an air fryer, spray the battered Oreos well and cook at 375°F for 6–8 minutes.
Q: Can I prep anything ahead?
Yes! You can pre-cook the bacon and keep it ready to sprinkle. The batter is best made fresh right before frying.
Q: What kind of pancake mix works best?
A basic “just add water” mix works perfectly. If it includes eggs or milk, adjust liquid amounts for the right consistency.
