01 -

The contrast between the shatteringly crisp exterior and molten interior is pure magic
They come together in under twenty minutes making them perfect for spontaneous gatherings

02 -

Work quickly once the marshmallows hit the hot oil or they can start to melt before the batter sets
The sparkling water must be cold when you add it to the dry ingredients for the crispiest results

03 -

Freeze your marshmallows for 15 minutes before battering them so they hold their shape better
Use a chopstick to lower the marshmallows into the oil for more control and less mess
