Ingredients
- 20 large marshmallows, frozen
- ⅔ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⅓ cups buttermilk pancake mix (Pearl Milling Company brand used)

- Carefully place coated marshmallows into the hot oil. Fry for about 1 minute or until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place on paper towels to drain.

Notes
- Ensure marshmallows are frozen to prevent them from melting too quickly during frying.
- Use canola or another neutral oil for frying to maintain the flavor of the marshmallows.
