Mix pancake batter & water, add buttermilk if desired, stir. Add an oreo to batter. Pour oil into frying pan, put a little water on your fingers & sprinkle into oil. If the oil bubbles, it is ready.

Place oreo into oil. Repeat until all of your oreos are in the pan. Cook until golden brown, flip. When they look done, remove & place onto a plate lined with paper towel to absorb oil. Add sugar on top if desired.
