Description
Irresistibly gooey on the inside and golden-crisp on the outside, these deep-fried marshmallows are a quick, nostalgic treat that’s perfect for parties or late-night cravings.
Ingredients
12 large marshmallows
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Oil for deep frying
Optional: powdered sugar or chocolate sauce for topping
Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Dip each marshmallow into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Carefully drop the battered marshmallows into the hot oil, a few at a time.
- Fry for 1–2 minutes, turning them to ensure even golden crispiness.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.
Notes
Best served fresh for optimal crispiness.
Try stuffing marshmallows with chocolate or caramel before dipping for a gooey surprise.
Roll in crushed graham crackers before frying for extra texture.
Use gluten-free all-purpose flour for a gluten-free option.
Reheat in oven or air fryer at 300°F (150°C); avoid microwave.
