Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Deep Fried Marshmallows
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Whisk together until smooth, adjusting thickness with more milk if needed.
  2. In a deep fryer or large pot, pour enough neutral oil to submerge marshmallows. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Test with a small amount of batter; it should bubble up immediately.
  3. Dip each marshmallow in prepared batter, making sure they are fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
  4. Carefully lower battered marshmallows into hot oil, fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Flip occasionally to prevent burning.
  5. Remove fried marshmallows with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar while warm and serve immediately.
