How to Make Deep Fried S’Mores
Prepare Your Setup: Start by heating vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Make sure you have all your ingredients within reach for easy assembly.
Assemble Your S’Mores: Take two graham cracker halves and place a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow between them. Gently press down so everything sticks together nicely.
Dip in Batter: Using tongs, carefully dip each assembled S’More into the pancake batter, ensuring it gets fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off before frying.
Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully lower each battered S’More into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them; nobody likes burnt treats!
Drain and Dust with Sugar: Once fried, remove them from the oil using tongs and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar.
Serve Warm and Enjoy!: Serve immediately while they’re still warm and gooey inside. Watch out; you might need napkins for this delicious mess!
Now that you’ve mastered the art of deep-fried S’Mores, prepare yourself for some serious dessert accolades at your next gathering! Your friends will be wondering how you turned an ordinary campfire treat into something extraordinary.
