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:
- 6–8 cups vegetable oil, for deep frying
- ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting
- Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream, chopped nuts
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Batter the S’mores: Dip each s’more sandwich into the pancake batter, fully coating it. Allow excess batter to drip off before frying.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
