Deep-Fried Marshmallows – A Gooey, Golden Treat

Ingredients:

• Large marshmallows (as many as you’d like)
• 1 cup pancake mix or all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk (adjust as needed)
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for a sweeter batter)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• Oil for deep frying (vegetable or canola oil)
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• Optional toppings: chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or caramel

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the batter:
   In a bowl, mix pancake mix (or flour), milk, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth, thick batter. It should coat the marshmallows well — not too runny.
2. Heat the oil:
   Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350–375°F (175–190°C).
3. Dip & fry:
   Dip each marshmallow fully into the batter, coating evenly.
   Carefully place into the hot oil (use a spoon or tongs). Fry 3–5 at a time until golden brown — about 15–30 seconds per side.
4. Drain & dust:
   Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
5. Serve:
   Stack them up and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for the full effect!
