Ingredients:
- 20 Jumbo Marshmallows
- 1 cup Pancake Mix
- 1 Large Egg
- 3/4 cup Milk
- Vegetable Oil (enough for deep frying, approximately 2 to 3 cups)
- Optional toppings: Whipped Cream, Chocolate Syrup, Sprinkles
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oil: Begin by heating about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure the oil is hot enough to ensure a crispy exterior while preventing the marshmallows from becoming greasy.
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, egg, milk, and a bit of oil. Whisk the ingredients together until you have a smooth and lump-free batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the marshmallows evenly.
- Coat the Marshmallows: Take each jumbo marshmallow and dip it into the batter, ensuring that it is completely coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off, and gently shake the marshmallow to remove any excess.
- Fry the Marshmallows: Carefully place the coated marshmallows into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Fry them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, turning them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. The marshmallows should turn a golden brown color and develop a crispy exterior while remaining soft and gooey inside.
- Drain and Serve: Once the marshmallows are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. While still warm, top the deep-fried marshmallows with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles for an extra layer of indulgence.
- Enjoy: Serve the deep-fried marshmallows immediately while they are still warm and crispy. Encourage your friends and family to dive in and experience the irresistible combination of crunchy outer shell and gooey marshmallow center.
