Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: About 10 pieces

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Heat the Oil

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the marshmallows.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, water, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.

Step 3: Coat the Marshmallows

Dip each marshmallow into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated for a crispy shell.

Step 4: Fry the Marshmallows

Carefully drop the coated marshmallows into the hot oil. Fry for 30–40 seconds or until they turn golden brown.

Step 5: Drain and Serve

Remove the marshmallows with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 6: Add Finishing Touches

Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Tips & Variations

• Oil Temperature: Keep the oil at a steady 375°F for even frying and to prevent sogginess.

• Flavor Boost: Add cinnamon or cocoa powder to the pancake batter for extra flavor.

• Serving Ideas: Serve with chocolate sauce, caramel drizzle, or fresh berries.

• Safety: Fry in small batches to avoid oil temperature drops and overcrowding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use mini marshmallows instead?

Mini marshmallows will melt too quickly and are harder to coat. Large marshmallows work best.

What oil is best for frying?

Use oils with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

Deep-fried marshmallows are best served fresh for the best crispy and gooey texture.
