Preparation

  3. In a bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, combine the pancake mix, then pour in the wet ingredients, stirring gently until you get a thick batter.
Frying
  1. Coat the frozen marshmallows in the batter.
  2. Drop them into the hot oil, frying until golden brown while turning once.
  3. Let them rest on paper towels, then serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or loaded with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and sprinkles.

Notes

Keep the marshmallows frozen for best results. Control frying temperature to ensure a crispy exterior and warm, gooey interior. Experiment with flavors by adding cinnamon or cocoa powder to the batter.
