Description
These deep fried marshmallows are golden, crispy on the outside and melty inside — a fun fair-style treat made right at home with just pancake mix and marshmallows!
Ingredients
20 jumbo marshmallows
1 cup pancake mix
⅔ cup water (adjust for batter consistency)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Chocolate or caramel sauce, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, whisk pancake mix with water until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.
Skewer each marshmallow with a toothpick or short skewer for easy dipping.
Dip marshmallows fully in the batter, letting excess drip off.
Carefully drop into hot oil and fry 30–45 seconds, turning as needed, until golden brown.
Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with dipping sauces, if desired.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the oil—fry in small batches for even cooking.
Make sure the batter clings well; if too runny, add a bit more pancake mix.
These are best enjoyed immediately while warm and gooey.
Try flavor variations by using chocolate or strawberry marshmallows.
