Deep-Fried Marshmallows

Marshmallows

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

1 large egg

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Vegetable oil, for frying

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Chocolate syrup or caramel sauce, for drizzling (optional)

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until well combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.

Skewer each marshmallow with a wooden stick or toothpick.

Dip each marshmallow into the batter, coating it evenly.

Carefully place the coated marshmallows into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Remove the fried marshmallows from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate syrup or caramel sauce, if desired.

Serve the Deep-Fried Marshmallows immediately while warm and crispy.
