All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
In a large mixing bowl, break and whisk the egg. Add the milk, sugar, salt, and butter and whisk again until well combined.
Place the flour on top of the liquid mixture and add the baking powder to that. Then, combine the dry ingredients with the wet ones until almost smooth. Don’t overmix the batter. It can be lumpy.
Gently fold in crushed Oreos. Set this aside.
Heat a griddle or heavy-bottomed large skillet over medium heat. Pour in just enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
When the oil is shimmering, add 1/4 cup measures of batter to the pan in small discs. Cook until air pockets are visible and the undersides are golden brown, approximately 3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes over and continue to cook until the bottoms are golden, approximately 2 more minutes. Repeat until all the pancakes are cooked.
Serve the pancakes with chocolate syrup drizzled over the top.
