Ingredients
  

Marshmallows
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows These are the star of the show! Their small size makes them perfect for frying.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour This forms the base of your batter, giving it structure.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder This helps the batter rise, creating a light and airy texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) For those who enjoy a hint of spice, cinnamon adds a warm flavor.
  • 1 large egg This binds the ingredients together and adds richness to the batter.
  • 1 cup milk Milk helps to create a smooth batter, making it easy to coat the marshmallows.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular) Breadcrumbs provide that crispy outer layer. Panko gives an extra crunch!
  • as needed cup vegetable oil for frying You’ll need enough oil to submerge the marshmallows for even frying.
  • as needed tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting A light sprinkle of powdered sugar adds sweetness and a beautiful finish.

Equipment

  • deep fryer or heavy pot
  • mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • slotted spoon

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients and tools. You’ll need a mixing bowl, a whisk, a deep fryer or a heavy pot, and a slotted spoon.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if you’re using it. In another bowl, beat the large egg and mix in the milk until it’s well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until everything is just combined.
  3. Pour enough vegetable oil into your deep fryer or heavy pot to submerge the marshmallows. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Take each mini marshmallow and dip it into the batter, ensuring it’s fully covered. After that, roll it in the breadcrumbs.
  5. Carefully drop the coated marshmallows into the hot oil. Fry them in small batches for about 1-2 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  6. Once the marshmallows are golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Let them cool for a minute, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
