Ingredients
- 20 jumbo marshmallows
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying (about 2–3 cups, depending on pot size)
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
- Chocolate syrup, for serving (optional)
- Sprinkles, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oil
- Pour about 3 inches of vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) using a cooking thermometer to maintain accuracy. The oil should be hot enough to crisp the coating quickly without burning it.
- Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pot to maintain a consistent temperature during frying. A small test piece of batter should sizzle gently and turn golden within a minute when the oil is ready.
