Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 graham crackers
- 4 Hershey’s chocolate bars
- 8 marshmallows
Batter and Coating:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Frying and Finishing:
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Craft a compact smore sandwich by positioning a marshmallow and chocolate square between two graham cracker halves, optionally securing edges with a toothpick.
- Create a smooth batter by whisking dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt) in one bowl and blending wet ingredients (egg, milk, vanilla extract) in another.
- Gently fold wet and dry mixtures together until just combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain batter’s light texture.
- Prepare a deep skillet or fryer with vegetable oil, heating to precisely 375F for optimal frying temperature.
- Thoroughly coat each smore sandwich in the prepared batter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Carefully submerge battered smores into hot oil, frying each side for 2-3 minutes until achieving a rich, golden-brown crispy exterior.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer fried smores onto paper towels to absorb excess oil and drain.
- Enhance presentation by dusting with powdered sugar or drizzling with chocolate/caramel sauce, serving immediately to preserve warm, gooey center.
Notes
- Prevent marshmallow leakage by freezing assembled smores for 15 minutes before battering, creating a firmer structure that holds together during frying.
- Opt for high-quality chocolate with a higher melting point like dark or semi-sweet varieties to maintain better texture when deep-fried.
- Use a digital thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature, ensuring crispy exterior and perfectly melted interior without burning.
- For gluten-free adaptation, substitute wheat flour with almond or rice flour, keeping the batter light and crispy while accommodating dietary restrictions.
