Recipe Information

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes
• Yield: 20 fried marshmallows
• Category: Dessert
• Cuisine: American

Ingredients

• Large marshmallows – 20
• All-purpose flour – 1 cup
• Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
• Granulated sugar – 2 tablespoons
• Salt – 1 pinch
• Milk – 1 cup
• Large egg – 1
• Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Chocolate or caramel sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Add the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
4. Pat the marshmallows dry if needed. Dip each marshmallow into the batter, coating it completely.
5. Carefully lower a few coated marshmallows into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan.
6. Fry for 30 to 60 seconds per side until evenly golden brown.
7. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm.
9. Serve immediately with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce for dipping if desired.

Tips for Success

• Keep the oil at a steady 350°F for even browning.
• Fry only a few marshmallows at a time.
• Serve immediately for the best gooey center.
• Use fresh marshmallows for the softest texture.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.

Storage

Deep Fried Marshmallows are best enjoyed immediately after frying. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to one day, but the crispy coating will soften.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

Yes. The batter can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before frying. Stir well before using.

Can I use mini marshmallows?

Large marshmallows work best because they hold their shape while frying and create a gooey center.

What oil is best for frying?

Neutral oils such as vegetable, canola, or peanut oil produce the best results.

Can I add toppings?

Absolutely. Try crushed cookies, cinnamon sugar, melted chocolate, caramel drizzle, or colorful sprinkles for a fun finishing touch.
