Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 20 jumbo marshmallows
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
Frying Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 cups vegetable oil
Garnish and Serving (Optional):
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate syrup
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare a deep pot by filling it with 3 inches of vegetable oil, heating to 350°F for precise deep-frying temperature.
- Create a smooth batter by whisking pancake mix, egg, and milk until fully incorporated, ensuring a consistent thick texture that adheres well to marshmallows.
- Carefully dunk each marshmallow into the prepared batter, rotating to achieve complete and even coating, then gently tap to remove excess mixture.
- Slowly lower batter-covered marshmallows into hot oil, maintaining a careful distance to prevent splashing and potential burns.
- Fry marshmallows for 30-45 seconds, rotating periodically to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration and crispy exterior.
- Extract marshmallows using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drip back into the pot before transferring to paper towels for drainage.
- Transfer crispy marshmallows to a serving plate, optionally garnishing with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and colorful sprinkles for added visual appeal and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Use chilled marshmallows straight from the refrigerator to help them maintain shape during deep frying and prevent rapid melting.
- Consider using wooden skewers to dip and transfer marshmallows safely through hot oil, providing better control and preventing potential burns.
- Create gluten-free variations by substituting pancake mix with alternative flour blends like rice flour or almond flour for those with dietary restrictions.
- Experiment with flavor variations by adding cocoa powder, cinnamon, or vanilla extract to the batter for enhanced taste profiles and unique dessert experiences.
