Ingredients
Scale
- 12–15 large marshmallows
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup (180 ml) milk
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- Wooden skewers or toothpicks
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar
- Chocolate sauce, caramel, or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Batter Preparation: Whisk pancake mix, water, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until a smooth, thick batter forms with a pourable consistency.
- Oil Heating: Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan or fryer, bringing the temperature to 375F (190C) for optimal frying without marshmallow absorption.
- Marshmallow Coating: Skewer each marshmallow and completely immerse in the prepared batter, ensuring full and even coverage.
- Frying Process: Carefully lower batter-coated marshmallows into the hot oil in small batches, maintaining even cooking and preventing overcrowding.
- Cooking and Draining: Fry marshmallows for 15-20 seconds until achieving a golden, crispy exterior, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Finishing Touches: Elegantly dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with complementary syrup to enhance visual appeal and flavor profile.
- Serving: Present immediately while warm to enjoy the delectable contrast between the crisp outer shell and the molten marshmallow center.
Notes
- Control Oil Temperature: Keep oil consistently at 375F to prevent marshmallows from absorbing excess grease and ensuring a crispy, light golden exterior.
- Prevent Marshmallow Leakage: Completely seal batter around marshmallow to stop melting filling from escaping during frying, creating a messy cooking process.
- Batch Frying Strategy: Cook 3-4 marshmallows maximum per session to maintain oil temperature and achieve uniform, evenly cooked treats with crisp coating.
- Drainage Technique: Use paper towels strategically to absorb surplus oil, preventing soggy texture and ensuring a clean, appetizing final presentation.
