Ingredients
For the Marshmallows:
- 20 jumbo marshmallows
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 to 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream (for serving)
- Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
- Sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep pot or fryer, heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, egg, and milk until smooth.
- The batter should be thick enough to coat the marshmallows evenly.
- Prepare the Marshmallows:
- Ensure the marshmallows are dry to prevent splattering during frying.
- Use skewers or forks to make dipping easier.
- Coat the Marshmallows:
- Dip each marshmallow into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Gently shake off any excess batter.
- Fry the Marshmallows:
- Carefully place 3-4 marshmallows at a time into the hot oil.
- Fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove using a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve and Decorate:
- Serve the deep-fried marshmallows immediately.
- Add whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and sprinkles for extra flair.
Notes
- Work Quickly: Marshmallows fry fast, so monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Keep Oil Temperature Consistent: Use a thermometer to maintain 350°F for even frying.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla to the batter for extra flavor.
- Fresh is Best: Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
