Professional Frying Secrets for Perfect Deep Fried Marshmallow Texture and Safety

Temperature Precision: Maintain oil at exactly 350°F to prevent burning or undercooking of batter.

Speed Essential: Work quickly once marshmallows hit oil as they melt rapidly at high temperature.

Batter Consistency: Cold sparkling water creates lighter, crispier coating than regular water.

Skewer Safety: Insert skewers carefully to avoid splitting marshmallows before coating process.

Timing Critical: Fry only until golden as overcooking will cause marshmallow to completely liquify.

Serving Speed: Serve immediately for best texture contrast between crispy coating and gooey center.

Instructions

Insert wooden skewers or popsicle sticks into each jumbo marshmallow carefully.

Dust skewered marshmallows lightly with powdered sugar to help batter adhere.

Heat oil in deep fryer or heavy pot to exactly 350°F for optimal frying.

Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in large mixing bowl.

Add granulated sugar, vanilla, and almond extract to dry ingredients.

Pour cold sparkling water gradually while whisking to create smooth batter.

Let batter rest for 5 minutes to allow bubbles to develop for lightness.

Set up coating stations with panko, graham crackers, and cinnamon sugar.

Dip each marshmallow completely in batter, allowing excess to drip off.

Roll coated marshmallow in chosen coating for extra texture and flavor.

Carefully lower battered marshmallow into hot oil using tongs or basket.

Fry for 45-60 seconds until golden brown and crispy on outside.

Remove immediately when coating is golden to prevent marshmallow from melting completely.

Drain on paper towels or cooling rack for 30 seconds only.

Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar while still warm.

Warm dipping sauces in microwave or double boiler before serving.

Arrange fried marshmallows on serving plate with sauce bowls alongside.

Serve immediately while exterior is crispy and interior is perfectly gooey.

Warn guests that centers will be extremely hot and molten.

Provide plenty of napkins as these treats are deliciously messy to enjoy.
