  • Total Time: 11 minutes
  • Yield: 20 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 jumbo marshmallows
  • 1½ cups pancake mix
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
  • Optional toppings:
    • Whipped cream
    • Chocolate syrup
    • Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Prepare the Oil:
    Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).

  • Mix the Batter:
    In a bowl, combine the pancake mix, egg, milk, and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

  • Coat the Marshmallows:
    Dip each marshmallow into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides.

  • Fry the Marshmallows:
    Carefully place the coated marshmallows into the hot oil. Fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown all over. Be cautious not to overcook.

  • Drain Excess Oil:
    Using a slotted spoon, remove the marshmallows from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

  • Serve Immediately:
    Serve the deep-fried marshmallows warm, topped with optional whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles as desired.

Notes

  • Oil Selection:
    Use an oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable, canola, or peanut oil, to ensure safe and effective frying.

  • Serving Fresh:
    These treats are best enjoyed immediately after frying, as the coating may soften upon storage.

  • Variations:
    For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter. Alternatively, roll the fried marshmallows in crushed graham crackers for a s’mores-inspired twist.
