# List of Ingredients:
→ For the S'mores
01 -
8 sheets graham crackers, broken in half
02 -
8 large marshmallows
03 -
4 Hershey's milk chocolate bars, each divided into 8 pieces
→ Batter and Frying
04 -
1 cup (120 g) pancake mix
05 -
1 large egg
06 -
1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
07 -
1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil, plus extra for frying
08 -
3 cups (710 ml) vegetable oil, for deep frying
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together pancake mix, egg, whole milk, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil until the mixture forms a smooth, thick batter. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes for optimal coating.
02 -
Lay out the graham cracker halves. Place one segment of chocolate and one marshmallow between two halves to form a sandwich. Press the sandwiches gently to secure.
03 -
Pour vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 3 inches. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C), using a thermometer for accuracy.
04 -
Using tongs, dip each s'more sandwich into the prepared batter, turning to coat evenly. Gently shake off excess batter before frying.
05 -
Carefully lower the coated s'mores into the hot oil with tongs. Hold each for a few seconds to help set the batter before releasing. Fry in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown.
06 -
Remove the fried s'mores with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving for a molten center and safe handling.
# Additional Suggestions:
01 -
Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and ensure even browning.
02 -
For the best texture, serve fried s'mores fresh; reheating may reduce the crispness.
03 -
Letting the batter rest before use helps create better adhesion and a crispier coating.
