Deep Fried Oreos

1. 1

   To prepare the batter for the Oreos, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Put the 5 ice cubes in a glass measuring cup and add enough seltzer to make 2 cups. Add to the flour mixture along with the egg yolk. Mix until there are no large lumps and the ice cubes have melted. Set aside.

2. 2

   Fill a tall saucepan or deep-fryer with up to 2 inches of vegetable shortening and heat to 350 degrees. Dip the Oreos in the batter and fry a few at a time until crispy, 45 to 60 seconds. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Continue until all the Oreos have been batter-dipped and fried.
