Ingredients
- 20 jumbo marshmallows
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 2/3 cup water (or as needed for batter consistency)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- Chocolate or caramel sauce (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix pancake mix with water until smooth and thick enough to coat marshmallows.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each marshmallow in the batter to coat fully, using a fork or skewer.
- Fry 3–4 marshmallows at a time until golden and puffed, about 30–60 seconds. Flip gently for even cooking.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with dipping sauces.
Notes
- Use mini marshmallows for bite-sized versions on toothpicks.
- Add cinnamon or cocoa powder to the batter for extra flavor.
- Try stuffing marshmallows with chocolate before freezing and frying for a gooey center.
- Bake in mini muffin tins with batter for a less messy option.
