Ingredients

Scale

For the S’mores:

  • 12 large graham crackers (24 squares)
  • 12 standard marshmallows
  • 6 (1.55 oz / 43g) milk chocolate bars (24 squares)

For the Batter:

  • 2 cups “just add water” pancake mix
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 large egg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)

For Frying and Serving:

  • 68 cups vegetable oil, for deep frying
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream, chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the S’mores: Break each graham cracker in half to create 24 squares. On one square, place a piece of milk chocolate and a marshmallow, then top with another graham cracker square to form a sandwich. Repeat until all are assembled.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix with whole milk. If using, add the egg and granulated sugar to enrich the batter. Whisk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or large heavy pot, pour the vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer to maintain temperature for safe and even frying.
  4. Batter the S’mores: Dip each s’more sandwich into the pancake batter, fully coating it. Allow excess batter to drip off before frying.
  5. Deep Fry the S’mores: Carefully place the battered s’mores into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Turn halfway to ensure even cooking.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried s’mores with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Dust generously with powdered sugar while warm.
  7. Add Optional Toppings: Enhance your deep-fried s’mores with chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream, or chopped nuts as desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F to avoid greasy or undercooked s’mores.
  • Do not overcrowd the fryer to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Use a thermometer for accurate oil heat measurement.
  • Serve immediately as the s’mores are best enjoyed warm with melty chocolate.
  • You may substitute whole milk with any milk alternative, but it may affect batter consistency.
  • The egg and sugar in the batter are optional but add to flavor and texture.
  • Leftover fried s’mores can be reheated in an oven to regain crispiness but may soften over time.
