Ingredients

Units Scale

Makes 12-15 deep-fried marshmallows

  • For the marshmallows:
    • 12-15 large marshmallows
    • Wooden skewers or toothpicks
  • For the batter:
    • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For frying:
    • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • For garnish:
    • Powdered sugar
    • Chocolate sauce, caramel, or sprinkles (optional)



Instructions

  1. Prepare the marshmallows:
    • Insert wooden skewers or toothpicks into each marshmallow. Place them on a plate and freeze for 20 minutes. This helps prevent the marshmallows from melting too quickly during frying.
  2. Make the batter:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    • In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
  3. Heat the oil:
    • In a deep skillet or pot, heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.
  4. Coat the marshmallows:
    • Dip each marshmallow into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess batter drip off.
  5. Fry the marshmallows:
    • Carefully lower the coated marshmallows into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 20-30 seconds, or until golden brown, turning as needed.
    • Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  6. Serve:
    • Dust the fried marshmallows with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce, and add sprinkles if desired.

Notes

  • Be cautious while frying, as hot oil can be dangerous. Keep a safe distance and avoid overcrowding the pot.
  • For a twist, use flavored marshmallows or roll them in crushed graham crackers after frying for a s’mores-inspired treat.
  • Best served fresh, as the marshmallows may lose their crispiness over time.
