Ingredients
Scale
Mains:
- 12–15 large marshmallows
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 1 large egg
Batter Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frying and Garnish:
- 2 cups (480ml) vegetable oil
- Powdered sugar
- Chocolate sauce
- Crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Mix 1 cup (125g) flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, blend 1 cup (240ml) milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and fully integrated.
- Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until your batter reaches a consistent texture without overmixing.
- Heat 2 cups (480ml) vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to exactly 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to confirm precise temperature.
- Gently pat your 12-15 marshmallows dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Dunk each marshmallow completely into the prepared batter, ensuring full and even coating.
- Carefully lower 3-4 battered marshmallows into hot oil. Fry for 30-45 seconds, rotating to achieve uniform golden-brown color.
- Extract marshmallows using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drip back into the pot.
- Place fried marshmallows on paper towels to absorb additional oil and cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate sauce, or sprinkle crushed graham crackers for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Experiment with different marshmallow flavors like chocolate or strawberry for unique variations.
- Ensure marshmallows are completely dry before battering to prevent oil splattering.
- Serve immediately after cooling for the best crispy exterior and gooey center.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour.
