Total Time:15 minutes
Yield:20 servings
Ingredients
Jumbo Marshmallows: 20 pieces
Pancake Mix: 1 cup
Large Egg: 1 egg
Milk: ¾ cup
Vegetable Oil: Enough for deep frying, approximately 2 to 3 cups (depending on the size of your pot)
Whipped Cream (for serving): Optional, to taste
Chocolate Syrup (for serving): Optional, to taste
Sprinkles (for serving): Optional, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the Oil: Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, mix the pancake mix, egg, and milk until smooth. The batter should be slightly thick but not too runny.
Coat Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Gently shake off any excess batter.
Fry Marshmallows: Carefully place the coated marshmallows into the hot oil. Fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
Drain and Serve: Remove the marshmallows with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still warm, top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles if desired.
Notes
Best served fresh and warm. If making ahead, reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
For a twist, try different batters or add fillings like chocolate or caramel to the marshmallows before frying.
