  • ¾ cup cold water adjust as needed
  • 2 tbsp sugar optional for added sweetness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a deep pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is hot enough for a crispy coating.
  • In a bowl, mix the pancake mix with cold water, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the marshmallows without dripping excessively.
  • Using a skewer or fork, dip each marshmallow into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.

Cooking

  • Carefully drop the coated marshmallows into the hot oil. Fry for 1–2 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
  • Remove the marshmallows using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar before serving.

Notes

For healthier alternatives, consider using whole wheat flour or a low-sugar pancake mix. Serve warm with ice cream or sauces for a delightful twist.
