Core Ingredients
- Graham Crackers: Enough to make squares slightly larger than marshmallows (about 8 sheets)
- Large Marshmallows: 8 pieces
- Chocolate Bars (milk or dark): 8 pieces, sized to fit between graham crackers
Batter
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Milk: 3/4 cup
- Egg: 1 large
For Frying
- Vegetable Oil: Enough for deep frying (about 4 cups)
Optional Garnishes
- Powdered Sugar: for dusting
- Chocolate Sauce: for drizzling
- Caramel Sauce: for drizzling
- Prepare Your S’mores Foundation: Break graham crackers into squares slightly larger than marshmallows. Place a piece of chocolate and one marshmallow between two graham cracker squares and gently press to secure. Arrange assembled s’mores on a tray for easy dipping.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, milk, and egg until the batter is smooth and slightly thick, perfect for coating the s’mores.
- Heat the Oil: Fill a deep pot or fryer with vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain this temperature to ensure even frying.
- Batter and Fry: Carefully dip each assembled s’more into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently lower it into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, turning if necessary, until the exterior is golden brown and crisp.
- Drain and Serve: Remove deep fried s’mores with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with chocolate or caramel sauce.
Notes
- Keep oil temperature stable using a thermometer to avoid greasy or burnt s’mores.
- Fry in small batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Press graham crackers tightly around the fillings to prevent leaks during frying.
- Use cold fillings to slow melting and maintain gooey centers.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
