Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers for coating, optional
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • Powdered sugar or chocolate sauce for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Make Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, milk, egg, sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat Oil: In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Coat Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow into the batter, then roll in crushed graham crackers if using for extra crunch.
  4. Fry: Carefully drop marshmallows into hot oil. Fry for about 30–45 seconds, turning once, until golden brown.
  5. Drain & Serve: Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Serve immediately for the best gooey texture.
  • You can freeze marshmallows for 10 minutes before frying to help hold their shape.
  • Try stuffing marshmallows with chocolate chips or Nutella before battering for a surprise center!
  • Great for parties, camping nights, or even as a fun dessert for kids.
