- Assemble the S’mores:
- Start by sandwiching a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow between two graham cracker pieces. You might need to slightly squish the marshmallow to keep everything together. Prepare all the s’mores this way.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the beaten egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Heating the Oil:
- Pour oil into a deep fryer or a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2-3 inches. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy or deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Batter and Fry the S’mores:
- Dip each s’more into the batter, making sure it is fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered s’mores into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the fryer; work in batches if necessary.
- Fry each s’more for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once to ensure even cooking.
- Drain and Serve:
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the s’mores from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
- Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
Serving Suggestions
Deep fried s’mores are best enjoyed warm, when the chocolate and marshmallows are still melty and the batter is crispy. They are a hit at parties and perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Serve them as a dessert at a backyard barbecue or as a special treat at a children’s party. For an extra touch of decadence, serve with a side of chocolate sauce or caramel for dipping.
This creative twist on a classic dessert offers a deliciously satisfying experience that combines the nostalgic flavors of s’mores with the crispy texture of a fried treat. Would you like to explore more variations or tips for perfecting this recipe?
