Ingredients
- 20–24 large marshmallows
- Wooden skewers or lollipop sticks (optional)
- For the batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For frying:
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
- For serving (optional):
- Powdered sugar
- Chocolate sauce
- Caramel sauce
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients to make a smooth, thick batter.
- Pat marshmallows dry and insert skewers if using.
- Dip marshmallows into batter, fully coating each one.
- Carefully lower into hot oil and fry for 20–30 seconds, turning gently until golden brown.
- Remove with slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
- Serve immediately with optional toppings like powdered sugar or sauces.
Notes
- Roll in crushed cornflakes or graham crackers before frying for extra crunch.
- Add cinnamon to the batter for a spiced version.
- Freeze marshmallows and air fry as a lighter alternative.
- Best enjoyed fresh; reheating works better in oven or air fryer than microwave.
- Ensure marshmallows are dry for batter to stick well.
