Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Provides structure and creates the batter; crucial for texture.
  • 1 cup milk Adds moisture to the batter; can substitute with non-dairy milk if desired.
  • 1 large egg Binds the ingredients, enhancing richness; no direct substitution recommended for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds flavor depth; optional to skip, but recommended for taste.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the batter rise, creating a light texture; ensure it's fresh for effectiveness.
For the Marshmallows
  • 1 bag marshmallows The star ingredient for sweetness and softness; can use flavored varieties like chocolate or strawberry.
For Frying
  • 2-3 inches vegetable or canola oil Essential for frying; a high smoke point oil is necessary for crispiness and avoiding burnt flavors.

Equipment

  • deep fryer or large pot
  • mixing bowl
  • Slotted spoon
  • Fork or skewer

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth and slightly thick.
  2. In a deep fryer or large pot, pour in enough vegetable or canola oil to deep fry, about 2–3 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Grab your marshmallows and dip each one into the batter using a fork or skewer, making sure they are completely covered.
  4. Carefully place the battered marshmallows into the hot oil one at a time, frying them in batches for about 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Once golden brown, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
