Deep Fried Marshmallows

1 cup pancake mix
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 large marshmallows
Powdered sugar for dusting
Vegetable oil for frying

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together pancake mix, milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until smooth.

2. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

3. Dip each marshmallow into the batter, ensuring it’s completely covered.

4. Carefully place the battered marshmallows into the hot oil. Fry for about 2 minutes or until golden brown, turning as necessary.

5. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

For those with adventurous tastes, you can add some cinnamon or cocoa powder to your batter for a spiced or chocolaty twist. For folks looking to avoid too much sugar, you can skip the powdered sugar or use a sugar substitute suitable for frying. You can also experiment with different types of marshmallows, like flavored or colored varieties, to add a playful pop to your treat.
