Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12–15 large marshmallows
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup (180 ml) milk
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Accessories and Garnish:
- Wooden skewers or toothpicks
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar
- Chocolate sauce, caramel, or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk pancake mix, water, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until a smooth, thick batter forms with a pourable consistency.
- Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan or fryer, heating it to 375F (190C) to ensure optimal frying temperature without marshmallow absorption.
- Insert a skewer or fork into each marshmallow, then thoroughly dip and coat it in the prepared batter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Gently lower batter-covered marshmallows into the sizzling oil, working in small batches to prevent overcrowding and maintain even cooking.
- Monitor marshmallows closely, frying for approximately 15-20 seconds until they transform into a golden, crispy exterior.
- Retrieve the fried marshmallows using a slotted spoon, transferring them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and cool slightly.
- Enhance the dessert’s presentation by dusting with powdered sugar or drizzling with a complementary syrup of your choice.
- Serve immediately while warm to experience the delightful contrast between the crisp outer layer and the molten, gooey marshmallow center.
Notes
- Avoid using large marshmallows as they might not cook evenly inside the crispy batter coating.
- Check oil temperature consistently with a kitchen thermometer to prevent burning or undercooking the marshmallows.
- Create gluten-free variations by substituting pancake mix with gluten-free alternatives like rice flour or almond flour.
- Experiment with different extract flavors such as almond or coconut to enhance the batter’s taste profile and add unique dimensions to the dessert.
