A fun new twist on a traditional summer dessert. Deep fried s'mores are quick and easy to make and produce a perfectly gooey chocolate and marshmallow center.
Equipment
- Dutch Oven or other heavy bottom pot
- candy thermometer or oil thermometer
- Medium Bowl
- whisk or hand mixer
- slotted spoon or heat resistant spatula
- tongs
Ingredients
- 1 cup Bisquick pancake mix
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 8 graham cracker sheets
- 8 large s'more size rectangular marshmallows
- 4 Hershey's chocolate bars (dark or milk chocolate)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Fill a heavy bottom pot 5-6 inches deep with vegetable oil. Use an oil or candy thermometer in the oil to monitor the temperature. Bring oil to 375°F.
- Add pancake mix, milk, vegetable oil and egg to a mixing bowl.
- Whisk until most of the lumps are gone. Batter should be thick enough to coat your s'mores without the batter running off. Add more mix if the batter is too runny or more milk if it is too thick. Let batter sit for 5 minutes.
- Stack a s'more by breaking your graham cracker sheets in half so you have 2 squares. Place one square down and put a marshmallow on top, then a square of chocolate (half a Hershey bar) then the top graham cracker. Make 8 of these.
- Coat s'more in batter, holding them together with you hands or tongs. Shake gently to remove excess batter.
- Gently place battered s'more into the hot oil. Hold the s'more in the hot oil with tongs for a couple seconds beore releasing the tongs. This will help the batter start to cook up and keep the s'more together. Alternatively, just hold half the s'more in the oil with your hands, being very careful to keep your fingers away from oil splatter.
- Use a slotted spoon or heat resistant spatula to flip the s'more over contunually to cook evenly.
- Remove from oil when the whole s'more is a deep golden brown. Place on a wire rack covered in paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the rest of the s'mores.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes then eat wile warm.
Notes
Deep fried s'mores are only good when eaten warm, because once they cool or are stored in the fridge the graham cracker becomes soggy.
Try making smaller s'mores if you are making them for little kids.
