Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag large marshmallows
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup pancake mix
Liquid and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking and Finishing Ingredients:
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Chocolate sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oil in a deep fryer or large pot, heating to 375F (190C) for optimal frying temperature.
- Create a smooth batter by blending pancake mix, water, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl until fully incorporated.
- Pour graham cracker crumbs into a shallow dish, creating a coating station for the marshmallows.
- Completely submerge each marshmallow into the prepared batter, ensuring thorough and even coverage.
- Gently transfer the batter-coated marshmallow into the graham cracker crumbs, rotating to achieve a uniform exterior layer.
- Delicately lower the crumb-covered marshmallow into the hot oil, maintaining a careful technique to prevent splashing.
- Fry each marshmallow for 30-60 seconds, watching for a rich golden-brown color that indicates perfect crispiness.
- Extract the fried marshmallow using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drip back into the fryer.
- Place the freshly fried marshmallow on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb remaining oil and cool slightly.
- Repeat the entire coating and frying process with the remaining marshmallows until all are transformed into crispy, golden treats.
Notes
- Prevent batter from sliding off by patting marshmallows dry before coating, ensuring a crisp and even outer layer.
- Create flavor variations by using different extract types like almond or coconut in the batter for unique taste profiles.
- Opt for large marshmallows to get a better texture contrast between the crispy exterior and gooey interior.
- Keep oil temperature consistent at 375F to avoid burning or undercooking the marshmallow treats.
