Ingredients
- 20 large marshmallows
- 20 small wooden skewers or toothpicks, optional
- ½ cup all-purpose flour, for dusting
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
- ½ cup chocolate sauce, optional
- ½ cup caramel sauce, optional
- ¼ cup strawberry sauce, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the marshmallows. Place the marshmallows on a tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 30–45 minutes until firm.
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Prepare the batter. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
- Heat the oil. Pour vegetable oil into a deep pot to a depth of about 2–3 inches. Heat to 350°F.
- Coat the marshmallows. Lightly dust the frozen marshmallows with flour, then dip each into the batter.
- Deep-fry in small batches. Carefully lower the battered marshmallows into the hot oil and fry for approximately 30–60 seconds until golden brown.
- Drain and cool briefly. Remove the marshmallows and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain.
- Add the finishing touch. Mix the powdered sugar with cinnamon and dust over the fried marshmallows.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy warm with dipping sauces.
Notes
- Freeze before frying for easier coating.
- Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best results.
- Ensure the batter fully coats the marshmallows.
