Ingredients
Scale
- 8 graham cracker sheets
- 8 large marshmallows
- 4 Hershey’s chocolate bars
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) pancake mix
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vegetable oil
- oil for frying (quantity as needed)
Instructions
- Oil Preparation: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F, creating an ideal frying environment for achieving a crisp, golden exterior.
- Batter Creation: Whisk pancake mix, egg, milk, and vegetable oil into a smooth mixture, letting it rest briefly to enhance flavor complexity and consistency.
- S’more Assembly: Split graham crackers into precise squares, then layer marshmallows and chocolate between crackers, constructing compact flavor-packed parcels.
- Battering Process: Submerge each s’more completely in prepared batter using tongs, ensuring thorough and even coating while minimizing excess drips.
- Frying Technique: Carefully lower battered treats into hot oil, holding momentarily to prevent sticking and allow the coating to set, then release. Fry until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes, rotating occasionally for uniform coloration.
- Finishing Touch: Remove fried s’mores with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels to remove excess oil, and allow to cool slightly, letting the interior chocolate and marshmallow stabilize while maintaining an appetizing warmth.
Notes
- Maintain Oil Temperature: Keep the oil consistently at 350°F for perfect golden-brown coating and even cooking.
- Batter Resting Technique: Let the batter sit for several minutes to enhance flavor development and improve coating consistency.
- Prevent Sticking Trick: Use tongs carefully when placing s’mores into oil, holding momentarily to set the initial batter layer and prevent adherence to the pot.
- Cooling and Draining Strategy: Use paper towels to absorb excess oil immediately after frying, ensuring a crispy exterior while preserving the gooey interior.
